I came across this little scrub while herping in Nebraska. An average radix to say the least.(if there is such a thing) What interested me was the injury this little baby had suffered and healed from. I was concerned for its future and decided to have it stay at the Ranch. Kind of an observation period. She seemed to be doing fine up until a week ago. She came out for some food and I noticed she had a distinct tilt to her head. I thought about naming her Ileen but settled on Tilt. Tilt ate this morning and seems to be doing well. I'm hoping this is not a progressive disorder and her head will stabilize.
It's a very strange looking injury or maybe a birth defect. I know that the future might be short for her as these thing don't stabilize very often. At this point I don't care. I'm glad this little girl is here with the family.


It's a strange looking area and I'm not sure how it could have occured. Looks as if she had her head caught in something she was trying to back out of.
