I was looking around CL today and ran across this. It was an ad offering this Russian Tort to someone qualified to help. They purchased it at the Repticon HOT Show in Columbia SC almost 3 weeks ago. It has not eaten since it was brought home. She has taken it to the vet and its parasite free, but a little dehydrated. She brought it to my office after I replied. It so happened she was within 2-3 miles of there. I am going to soak him, and give him some nice, warm rays.
Here he is in his temp observation tank:
