I know I say after each tort its the last one, but I'm aftaid I did it again

As some of you will have known I was out to collect a rehomer today.
Well 250 miles, a good few hours and 6 counties later I collected this little thing. I'll be honest and say not quite what I expected, but shes welcome here. Shes not had the best start I got there to find her living in her own filth in a 1ft viv

with dried up lettuce and tort pellets. Shes had a nice warm bath now, you should have seen the filth that came off her when she had a good wash. Hopefully now I can give her the care she needs and deserves. I have taken a few pics, but now I've left her to settle in peace for a while.

Before

After

Thats all for now. I will add some updates of her sometime in the week. Oh also not sure shes a girl will ask for a few opinions at some point.
Name suggestions welcomed.

You're a knight in shining armour, Pete. She's a lovely little tort and I guess her Christmas wish has come true.
