Shell-less alpine tortise

[Beard]

I found this alpine tortise in my garden and its lost its shell. I'd better keep it til it grows back (I thing the recent flooding must have washed it off). Any advice on how best to keep it. I've thrown a handfull of woodies in the tub with it.

You sir are very mean. But very funny at the same time.

I think i can see its shell on the ground next to it! It has also suffered a horrific photo injury, the picture has cut off its tail and is doomed to die.

Might do the same for one of those poor blue-tongues you see... you know, the ones that have dropped all their legs? Buggers may never walk again...

I'm still waitin' on my king olive python. I already sent my money. Should I be worried?

No, the crown gets in the way of their navigational system. Shouldn't be too long before it finds it way 'home'

How many times do I have to tell you... it's TURTLE... we don't have 'tortoises' in Australia. If you would just learn the correct lingo I am certain your identification skills could advance.

As for how to best to keep it... They need plenty of UV and lots of room. So an outdoor pit is strongly recommended. I'd reckon one about 10km x 10km and including a water course, should be adequate.

Geez man, thats the ugliest bloody 'tortise' I've ever seen! Dispose of that one! Ha
