Since I plan to pick up my tort today I was wondering if there was a way to possibly put an ID tag on it or micro chip it or something so that he can be returned to me if (though I hope it never happens) he ever gets out?

Tortoises can be micro-chipped, however, I'd be willing to bet that not too many people would think to run a scanner over a tortoise for a chip.

If the tortoise is big enough, you can glue one of your address labels in the center of a scute.

I don't think he's big enough for that yet, I will probably end up microchipping him later on. I need to put up pictures of him later when he's less stressed.
