) shell was soft i could bend the rear scoot with little pressure at all. she had white patches and some dimpleing of her shell. I immedatly grabed the store clerk and asked [!!!]! I live in canada so these guys can be sold under 4" most of whitch im sure are sold as a just as easy as fish pitch to go with them. Blinky was the last one and so i have been told the last one they will be getting in for now on (checked back every week so far no res at all Thank goodness) I purchased her for $15 due to its defects and now after 2 months and a lot of tlc a vet visit ($120 later my wife was not happy) blinky is now a very happy turtle 
. as you can see her shell is almost perfect now and she does love her cuddle bone and to have a chin rub while having a shell scratch. i dont know but that skiddish res sick probably dieing seems to have taken a liking to myself and my wife. My wife will look at her and say Blinky... hello blinky, and out pops her head lol i would like to get it on video. thanks for checking out my blerbCheers and beers
