Tortoise
Cannonball is a south american red footed tortoise and had lived at EVH since 1990 until October 2025. Cannonball was a gift to our previous owner Dr. Carter Smith and was such a huge part of our EVH family that we wanted to leave his bio up so our long time clients could keep tabs on him. Cannonball was born in 1986 and used to live with many other tortoises but displayed a lot of independent behaviors as a younger lad which led him to his home at EVH. In October we decided to try to return him to his former family where he could be a real pet, be with other tortoises, enjoy a lot more outside time and live his best life. We get regular updates and he is thriving. When the weather permits we are told he can't wait to get out the doors, enjoy the sunshine, grazing on grass, clover, and dandelions and being with his fellow tortoises.
