I dont think he was born this way he (it) used to be way more mobile even as soon as a few months ago. He also would be able to bite at grass and actually get it into his mouth. I went to: http://www.riparianfarms.com/ Here is what I got: The Ivory Tortoises are a dark eyed form of albino African Spurred Tortoise called a Tyrosine Positive albino. It was first produced by Richard Fife in 2000. They are identical in size and care as other African Spurred Tortoises and because they have dark pigment in their eyes they can safely be put outside in the sun without worry of damaging their eyes. This is a fantastically beautiful tortoise.

I do not know the Fifes personally nor am i trying to ruin their reputation this is just what has happened. I cannot get ahold of my vet as he is in Daytona with every other lucky person. (so jealouse!lol) So if you get a chance to run this by anybody that can help i would be much appreciated. Here are some pics and the penmate is a just a het.
