Tortoises were evaluated mid-summer (July) immediately before sampling of blood. The following codes indicate clinical anomalies observed during evaluation: A, asymmetrical; CM, coelomic mass; CP, coloration pale; CR, coloration red; DS, discharge serous; DM, discharge mucoid; E, edema; Er, eroded; L, lesions present; LR, labored respiration; O, occluded; R, recessed; ‘−’, clinically normal; MCL, maximum Carapace Length.
