What type of tortoise is it Lynne?
I can't wait for photos. I hope the shell damage isn't too bad.

It's a Hermann (THB)

I've seen and posted photos of him in i.d sction. He's got damage to front and back as the dog got hold of him twice.

You might change your mind when he arrives.
you certainly have the Tort bug Lynne wish I could take on a couple of rescue torts but hubby would go mad. I had Nutmeg over a week before I told him broke the news after he had had a couple of pints lol

To be honest hubby doesn't have any choice in the matter

If I want I get, lol

He really likes them aswell which is a big bonus.

How exciting!
Poor wee bugger he is...so lucky to be taken in by you though!
I am with your hubby though...Rambo is an ace name for him...sounds like he has been through the wars right enough!

Well done for taking him on Lynne! You never know he may settle straight in, my last two Margies just settled straight in, have never climbed the walls or sulked- eating me out of house & home! I like Rambo but im biased!!

Looking forward to seeing Rambo/Lucky Lynne!

His name is Rambo now and he is here, yay!

He is quite lumpy and quite big actually, his papers say he was born 2008 in solvenia but he is much bigger than my new rescues Bonnie and Clyde. He is a completely different shape. When he walks you can hear crackling where the rough shell is rubbing against his legs. You can see alot of his back leg where the shell has been chewed off. My hubby said looks like a frogs leg, lol

When I picked him up the seller didn't really want to talk much and she didn't let me see his viv where he was living and just handed him to me in his shoe box where he sleeps which had a flannel in. She did say the kids put him in the bath with them sometimes. The lady had two staffs and she said the younger staff was the one that had got at him twice.

She said that he was bought from Wiltons Pet Centre, I don't know the place but I haven't heard good reports so I can't comment on it really.

I put him in his temporary enclosure and he walked around sniffing the soil and nibbled a bit of florette, then he went under a log and has dug down and gone to bed now

So photos in the morning.
