Estimates are anything between 10 and 20, the guy who bought him (in a pub toilet - no joke) had him for about 10 years and said that he just kept changing and looking like that. He also had another tortoise with him that has an extended lower jaw but nothing like Igor.

The vets and experts I have consulted believe it to be a combination of everything being wrong.I am geninuely suprised he is alive after the condition I found him. He was covered in own faeces, a beak that was an inch long and in a box outside the house of the person I got him from as he was only selling the other and he was trying to kill the other as it was no use.

He was imprisoned for various offences thanks to the RSPCA involvement
