Can I take my baby leopard tortoise to the park?

I want to go to the park and let my tortoise loose there for a bit. Just for the fun of it. My leopard tortoise is few weeks old. Is it not safe to do that?

I wouldn't do it too much stress and no one knows how many pesticides are used on the grass

Do they spray pesticide in national park??

Yes, to control weeds from taking over grassy areas. Also, people let their dogs run wild in parks, it wouldnt take much for some dog to be curious and then nasty.

I wouldnt take my tort to a park...

Not safe. Too many potential hazards, and also, tortoises don't liked to be in unfamiliar areas and they don't like to go for car rides.

Don't do it, bad idea.
