Today at my kid class we're going to bring in turtles and tortoises.
We're ready to show the CD full of deformed turtle pictures that I have to the kids.
The large male sulcata (75lbs)that belongs to my vet will be there, she adopted him about 1 year ago. He's a bit deformed but because they don't know what normal looks like I can't make them understand what's wrong with him, so I have a photo of a normal one to show them so they can understand why I say something is wrong with him.
I can't take my own sulcata but I have the photos of how horrible she looked the day she got here.
I can't take her because I can't get her there by myself, I can't lift her now that she weighs 60 lbs.
This year I don't have anyone who can take off work to come help me with her. My vet's will be there because she has employees she pays who can deliver them to the class.

I'll let you know how this goes with 6-12 year olds.
