Hopefully I'm going to be getting this lovely girl soon what do we think? She has a deformed tail from an accident with a Herman but she's all healed etc
She is 18 years old x

Ooh she's lovely.

What's the mark on her shell above her bottom scute?
Lovely smooth shell

I would say she looks a lot older and wild caught personally and would be a bit cautious with the fact she has her eyes shut tight.

Agree, but she is lovely

Oh bless

She is sweet and looks like she could do with some TLC. She looks quite sad

expression wise, Gordon picked up on her eyes - they do look a bit "dull". Let us know if you get her

I agree with Gordon, noticed her eyes & head pulled in shell straight away

Beautiful shell though. Where are you getting her from? Do you know the people?

I don't know them she's up in Scotland. Does it look as though she's ill or just needs a bit of TLC? I know she's had a run in with a Herman tortoise which I assume that's what the marks are on back of her shell.

How old do you think she would be? I wondered if she needed a good soak in a nice bath help perk her up. Does it look more than that?

She looks quite a bit older than that. Looks like she has had a hard life. Its hard to say I would think definitely needs a vet visit

( to a specialist vet who could check everything out)

I would say she is 30+ but prob older as for the mark on her shell i would say its shell rot which is easy to sort out,
As for the for her head pulled in and her eyes shut tight that could be anything
if it were me i would leave it in Scotland
