My daughter was in the backyard looking for one of our younger tortoises and just found it laying dead on our planter. It must have been there a few days because I remember seeing it there last week and just thought it was taking a nap in the shade. It didn't look odd or alarming in any way. The only way my daughter noticed it was dead was because she looked closely and the head was covered in ants. This was our youngest one, only 7 years old. I can't even begin to tell you how upset we are, especially my daughter. The worst part is we have no clue why? My husband thought maybe a possum got to it but why would it leave it there? Idk... not knowing is hard though because I have 2 others, one is 9 and the other is probably early 30s so much bigger.
