Thomas, rescue 156

Today I picked up this little red foot tortoise. He's probably 3 or so years old. 


Poor little guy's shell is SO messed up! I've never seen such bad pyramiding. His shell should be smooth with no bumps. He's practically a Koopa turtle from Mario Bros! 


He's outside in the sunshine right now. Thank goodness for unseasonably warm days. He had a hard boiled egg and some greens and some pellets. He's pooped a ton and is super curious about his new home. 


I'm hoping that his shell will even out with a good diet and good habitat, but I suspect that he will always be "specially" shaped.
