Just thought I'd share my little story. So I needed to go to Petco to buy some crickets, and I didn't want to leave Carl outside while I was gone, but wasn't planning on being too long so putting him inside would be silly. I decided to take him along. We stopped at Petco, everything was fine. Then I remembered I needed to grab some spring mix, so I decided "what the heck, I'm taking Carl with me to Walmart".
As I was walking through the isles of Walmart, trying to inconspicuously hide my tortoise in a closed hand, he BIT ME! He'd never bitten me before, so I didn't know that it would pinch so bad. I brought along a leaf to keep him occupied, he got down to the last bit, and accidentily bit my finger. He also didn't let go So here I am, in the middle of the produce isle, with a tortoise hanging off of my finger, trying to coax him to let go while not alerting everyone in the store to the baby tortoise in my hand.
If that wasn't enough, he decided to poop on me in the check out lane -_- Needless to say, Carl is no longer invited to outings.
