No paperwork as i didn’t pay for her just the set up. She was given to the shop as a rehome and very little is known about her.

What did the shop sell you as a set up and how much did you pay? Her shell is very bumpy and she just looks 'sad'. Has she got claws missing on her back legs? Presumably it is the light making her appear to have a pink tinge to her rhs? I wonder if you have taken rather a lot on as a first time tortoise keeper, particularly not knowing her previous history? |

But looking on the positive side it seems that she is in the hands of someone who will give her a good home and the care she needs and seems to be prepared to ask for our help where needed so hopefully the outcome is positive. So keep up the good work Daniel. |

I am wanting to build her a bigger table. But the space I have would let me go to 5’x1-1.5’. That wouldn’t be Big enough ideally would it?
