    poor thing! I'm glad she seems to be doing well though. Do you think the kinking will get any worse? Does she ever show any sign of distress because of it? Sounds like she hasnt' so far, which is good lol

    She'll go into a twist if she tries to move too quickly. I think it has gotten a little worse but don't think it will go much further. She's calmed down a lot since she went into the larger enclosure. On a food day she'll wait by the front until I bring the food. She's also not shy about taking on a concinnus for some food.

    Lucky2 is opaque and was moved from her normal inclosure since there is a male T.s.concinnus in there.
    She isn't happy and is off food right now. Hoping that will all change after the shed.
    She has her birth defects but also has some smaller bumps/lumps/kinks on her spine.
    I have a feeling these are going to get worse as she ages but we will try to make her comfortable her on the Ranch.

    She has a sweet attitude.

    She looks like she has grown quite a bit since she has been at the Ranch. I am so glad you took her and gave her a great life!
    Thanks Steve.

    Lucky 2 is back eating. She had two pieces of tilapia and 2 large night crawlers.
    I think movement for her is getting more difficult and backward motion is terrible. Backing up cause her to flip over on her back.
    I don't think her quality of life has diminished much. Hoping she has many more years left on the Ranch.

    Thought I'd post an new photo of Lucky 2. Her back seems to be tightening up some.
    She's doing as well as can be expected.
