Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2010 6:33 amA couple in her 100 gallon stock tank:
Her yesterday. She is now about 5.25". You can see the "bad" area of scutes behind her neck. When she was a hatchling, the cats knocked a uvb bulb within abount an inch of her. The area turned bright yellow. Took her to the vet way back then, and with about a month of betadine and dry docking I at least got the shell to re-harden in the area.This was about four years ago. I have to help her shed her scutes.
Plus a plastron shot. She still nedds to shed a couple of scutes.

But at least she got to the vet. She looks pretty good (from my perspective).
