Listing Description
I believe it’s a female!
I got her when I was in middle school not knowing the responsibilities. Her lamp broke a few times leaving me no choice but to leave her outside at times until I can go buy a new one (around 1-3 days). I usually had weights on her cage because I had a very smart dog at the time. I thought 50 lb would be enough... but it wasn’t! My dog ended up getting to her. This is why she has some shell damage. I tried my best to heal her with the little knowledge I had. She seems fine but I feel she can be with a more responsible person. I live in a very small room due to this she has a 20 gallon tank. I do have a heat lamp but her UV lamp broke. I want to give her to a more educated and responsible owner unlike myself. Please help me out! Only pickups are available!
