I saw a documentary that said basically, RI's were spread when unwanted sick tortoises were just released into the wild. They then infected other tortoises. The documentary made it seem that the ill tortoises caught the RI from humans. Is that right? If it is , what other human spread viruses/bacteria are torts susceptible too?
Is it that they can catch certain illnesses from us, or they already carry the bacteria and it flourishes due to receiving poor care?
