Not that I'd want to doll up the entire tortoise... but what about a spot of bright red nail polish on a scute? Would that help make them more visible in the shrubbery?

My old house had a nice, lush yard and Bean went "missing" every day under all the greenery. He can smell his favorite foods from a mile away so if I couldn't find him in his usual hangouts what I would do was just drop a pile of strawberry or something on the ground and wait for 10 minutes. He always materialized out of thin air.
It wasn't as big of a yard as some of you multi-acre having folks though (grrr)
I have read somewhere that you should be careful with paints and nail varnish etc because they can be toxic and block uvb etc - I suppose it depends on how big the spot is, but I like the less permanent stickers idea.
