I still think some pictures of this tortoise would be good.

Hiya, I would love to add some photos but I'm not too sure how- is it only possible to do via photo bucket? I can try, but it's all a bit more difficult from my phone! Is there any other way of attaching photos? Maybe I can try and add one to my profile. The photos are from when I first got her, on pellets and with a beaky nose....
She was in tortoise heaven yesterday after I spent the day foraging for weeds- she had mallow, white nettle and various others she hadn't tried before and loved them!

Ok...so I've tried so we will see how it goes! Please be kind, I know she hasn't had the best of starts so I'm anxious what people might say! The pellet pics are from when I got her, the soil and bath ones are more recent (although saying that, I've only had her a month!). Please let me know if the link works- I've tried several!

I wouldn't worry about this tortoise to much it looks ok yes a bit lumpy bumpy but I have seen a lot worce and the go on to be fine.
I have a few like that that I have inherited and I have no problems with them the even breed.

Oh! Thank you! that's really reassuring! It's good to hear from someone who has had one in the same condition and doing well. The main thing is she seems a lot happier these days. Anyone can confirm she IS a 'she' for me?? Ta x

I think there is a shot far right sandy.

If you can you need the IMG code for the photo, well done with the link though. if you get the IMG code and copy and paste you can preview the photo also in advance settings on SW.

Cute tortoise , CB

Thank you! That's fortunate, I don't think I could cope with another name change! Thank you
