We would really need to see a clear picture of the top of her shell and the underside of it

She didnt come with a certificate
She came in a 4ft vivarium with woodchip bark, a light strip and a 60watt lightbulb. No water Nothing to explore or climb on My plans are to get her out and into a tort table with topsoil, rocks, wood etc Ill get some clearer pictures of her top and inderneath later and post I suppose the positive is I can get her out and into better conditions and hopefully give her a new lease of life that she deserves |

Hi Tiggi
She has as stated had a poor start in life but well done to you for researching her care, with better environment, diet & hydration she should now have a happier, healthier life. I have a tort who looked a lot like her but is doing fine now. (im unsure if she's a tunisian but she does appear to have the yellow mark on her head that is common to them) |
