I think so Angela. People should know how to quarantine a new torts before introducing to our herd.

I am most concerned about the OP placing the tort back into the wild and any hazards that presents to the local population...especially since that wild tortoise has now been exposed directly to the captive animal....???

Thanks Mike, surly I shouldn't put him back on the side of a road should I?
It's recommended that you put them back in the direction where they were heading to, when you found them, but away from traffic. They are very territorial, so relocating them to a different area may not only stress them out, but cause issues to tortoises in the new area where you release them.
