I actually went back just before i hopped on the jet just to make 100% sure the tortoise is ok.
(S)he wasn't anywhere to be seen, so that's definitely a good thing. I also closed another hole off.

:) im glad. the main reason i was concerned was cause i know they are not water dwellers but i was concerned about his hydration so i put him in very shallow waters (1cm, picture). i hope he's fine <3
