If you've now been bitten by the tortoise bug, perhaps you can contact a Tortoise adoption site and find one that needs a new home that cannot be released into the wild. There are a few good places in S Texas. I know of one in San Marcos.Everyone I am proud to say, Lil B has safely been released. It was a heartbreaking moment to watch him leave but I know it was for the best. Protecting a protected species is the best thing I have ever done but I still miss him so much already. Thank you for all the help y'all have given me.
Curious, Ashley. What steps did they give you to take to do this? It might be helpful for others for future reference.Markw84, I did contact them earlier today. They have instructed me in what to do. I am doing everything I can to make sure he gets back safely, I was just curious on his age and if y'all could tell gender. I just want to know all I can about him as I have grown rather fond of him.
