~ I was contacted today from an old friend that indicated this tortoise was discovered freely walking in a wooded neighborhood here in the SW Florida area. Thought i would just share, unknown if she was intentionally released or escaped form containment. She seems to be in very good shape. We will quanteen her and make sure she is optimal health and then find a new home for her. Second one this week!

If you don't find the owners I would be interested in possibly caring for her. I live in Central Florida and have acreage. PM me if it's a possibility.

Sorry I don't idolize anyone...Also I forgot my usual disclaimer...I AM NOT AN EXPERT. I believe there are healthier solutions. Watermelons contains too much sugar for a sulcata and is not good for their digestion. Romaine contains 95% water and if you spray that with water...hey that's pretty good!

It looks like she may have been fed some romaine as well, so win-win. Sometimes it's ok to give an animal a treat. As for idolizing, I don't do that. I also don't make abrupt suggestions to those with greater knowledge and experience than my own.

How can a suggestion be abrupt? This a forum, it's a place where poeple give their opinion's. I won't wait untill im 60 yrs to share my opinion because I don't have a "greater knowledge". It's your choice if you do so...
