The Queen of West Africa

We had so much fun traveling four hours south to meet Gladys, a western hingeback tortoise, who will be living with us. We show her in detail, talk about some of the health challenges she's had, including problems laying eggs and an infection in her lower jaw. Thank you so much Sarah for entrusting us with Gladys!
