Meet Fletcher

dizzywend · 09-03-2008, 11:30 PM

I have offered temporary accomodation to this tort till he finds a new home!
What a joy he is, very friendly and not shy at all!
he is a marginated and we have called him Fletcher!
I collected him and he was in a viv with newspaper, cabbage and believe it or not the red bulb was about an inch away from him!

Brought him home, gave him a soak and he passed what looked like processed peas but black!
he hasn't touched the weeds yet, but I expect him to nibble them soon, once he realises I won't give him cabbage or fruit!
I declined the pellets i was offered, and the heat mat!
The owner was in tears, and so was I.

So here is Fletcher, my foster tort!!

Wellll

i am trying to seperate myself!

I have always said 3 breeds and that is it, but will have a spare enclosure!
i would like to see him move on! He is only 4 and very friendly, but a bit of a overshot jaw!
the lady kept a heat lamp on 24/7
He was called crusty, but I renamed him!

He is so full of character! But arent they all?

Who wouldn't be flipping 'crusty' kept on a heat mat 24/7!!

He is lovely though & doesn't look to have suffered, just looking at him. I'm sure he'll be staying put now tho.
