thank you for having the strength to post this and warn others. it will save some..
sorry for your loss..
I did the same thing when I was little.. I had a turtle.. put him outside for some sun....in his tank...
Timothy... Im sorry.... just a dumb kid who didnt know...
another reason why people should never place thr torts outside to graze and think they are going to watch them... SO many have been lost this way. if you dont have a safe secure place outside to place them. DO NOT do it..
