That length I would say a juvenile to adult. No real exact way to now age, but just a guess. What's it's story? Do the previous people have an idea of age or at least how long they had it. Thanks for rescuing!

I have no history on it at all. It was found in an office under a copy machine. I just wanted to try to set up a diet as close as I could. I am going to schedule an appt with the vet due to a stuck shed on a toe I haven't been able to get loose (its swollen and I'm afraid it might lose it) and just overall health.

The office wasn't sure what to do with it and were going to let it go at the pond lol. I'm hoping I am a better solution than that.

Please do not release this animal. It will be a definite death sentence that he does not deserve. Make an appointment and see a vet.

Omg, that is crazy you all just found it. I would definitely get it vet checked for the toe and check a fecal for parasites. Again thank you for rescuing.
