Glad to gear the good news, just before Christmas I saw some GPS tracking devices that were selling a pack of four, for about fifty dollars. (Sams Club)They were the size of a quarter, also had a small hole like a dog tag two were magnetic and two could be attached somehow. My tortise is just about the size of yours. This summer will be his first summer outside. Didn't thing to buy the tracker then but after your situation I will make it may first priority to fit him with a GPS tracking device before he is put in the yard. I already have 6 cameras on 24 hrs aday. Again! I am so glad that Curtis was found, keep him close and give him a nice warm bath and a big treat.???

WOOHOO!!!

Please use my GoFundMe donation toward cameras, a tracker or reinforcing the fencing. We don't want him getting off again!

I suppose I can stop the twitter ad campaign now. Over 673 twitter users in Texas saw the tweet about him being missing :)

I think I'll tweet about the good news and run the campaign for a little longer in celebration. It was surprisingly affordable!
Thank you so much, Vladi, for being so much help to another in need! You're wonderful! ❤❤❤❤?

Now, on the matter of the Gofundme...
I have not taken any of the money out, so anyone who wants their money back is completely welcome to take it. However, whatever money that stays will be put towards a tracker for his shell, and reinforcements to his enclosure.

Thank you to EVERYONE for all of the help and encouragement!
There are microchips for torts too. (But still do a tracker/etc. so ppl have a way to know to possibly look for one and of course, it'll give you another way to locate him.)

Did you just walk out and viola! There he was?
I was coming back around after searching for an hour, and I just so happened to look down. I couldn’t believe my eyes!

We’re thinking he got there around an hour and a half before I found him, because that’s when our ring doorbell had last went off. I came out through the back door, so I didn’t see him when I first started searching. Still have no idea how he managed to specifically get right to our front door!
