Gertie, I have a lovely olive green eastern! My little brother brought her to me saying that she was sick last year, and he was right... she was almost dead!!! she looked like she had freshy birthed babies.. was terribly dehydrated and her respiratory system was in bad shape... I stayed up late at night helping her sip water from a spoon with some bird tetracycline in it! she drank so eagerly it was sad... but she made it and I still spoil her rotten!
