Thirteen-year-old Jackston Stone was born without feet, and suffered years of painful surgeries. Now he’s walking on snake-like prosthetic legs, thanks to the Shriners of Salt Lake City.
From ABC News 4 Utah:
That new choice meant wearing two prosthetics legs, and Jackson wanted his to look like snakes.
“They’re like me,” Jackson Stone said.
“How’s that?” Reporter Brian Carlson asked.
“I have no feet, they have no feet,” he said.
Snakes are part family business. A tattoo artist created the design for Jackson’s dream legs, but prosthetic maker couldn’t do it.
“So they brought me the art work and it was on canvas which was too heavy for me to apply the prosthesis,” said Eric Green, Prosthetist.
That’s when Shriners stepped in.
“So I said ya know, I might be able to help,” said William “Mr. Bill” Voorhies, Shriners of Salt Lake City.
William Voorhies contacted fellow Shriner Bob Shupe who runs a printing company. He put the design on surface that worked.
“Fortunately our company was able to take that need and develop it,” said Bob Shupe, Past Potentate.
The prosthetic maker turned Jackson’s snake legs into reality. He loves them, and his friends do too.
“They think it’s really cool because a tattoo artist designed it and none of them can get tattoos,” said Jackson Stone.

: Help what size tank and how should i set it up well i am about to answer both . Well the most often heard rule is a gallon per inch that gives the turtle plenty of room to grow but we all know everyone doesn’t go by that . Sometimes i would say about 2 gallons per inch because some turtle lovers don’t always have the room . Now to the setup so would you want a low level water setup or high level currently i have a high level but I’m going to get a low level soon . Low levels look nice with light brown pebbles and plenty of rocks and plants and maybe even a little waterfall , But some people might like bright rocks with neon plants and a high water level . It really just depends on what you like and how your turtle reacts to ether one .![[:cool]](http://i1.wp.com/www.turtletimes.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/icon_smile_coolthumb.gif?w=560){kind=icon}
