    Tortoise Related Injury!

    it was quite funny. i have a concrete lined pond in the enclosure. the torts dug toward the concrete... and i stepped over to cross the pond and fell in. the torti are perfectly fine.. they were both out and about. they also examined how i destroyed their home.. my franklin wasnt too happy about it!
