Tortoise Leash

[Chloe_1102]

Just wanted to share this great leash I found on amazon. I’m a nervous nelly about having hazel outside and this has really solved that problem for me. It’s super cute too.


It even has a small bell on it [emoji23]
I want to add the video of her first time wearing it! But I can’t figure out how to upload videos!

How big of a will it fit?

That is cute. However, your tortoise should have a proper safe enclosure both inside and out. Not just roaming the yard without it being properly enclosed for the torts safety.

I definitely don’t think it would be big enough for anything close to a leopard tort size range. I got a large for my 2.5 year old Greek and there’s still a lot of slack to made it bigger. She’s about 7 or so inches long, very wide.

I think it’s more size appropriate for Herman’s, Russians, and Greek size breeds. MAYBE an adult redfoot, but it’s hard to say though

Yeah we just moved to a new house 2 weeks ago. The outdoor enclosure set up is on the to-do list. So for now, the leash is a wonderful security blanket for me [emoji1303]

I use a large reptile leash with my adult leopard tortoise occasionally. Levi goes out on animal programs with me and the kids like to walk him. It can be a great way to keep your shelled buddy from "disappearing".
Good luck with your enclosure build and enjoy your outside time on the leash til then!

Human were insane they make all pet as dog. If you need to show off your tortoise on a leash you better buy a dog.

Always someone out here to ruin a thread with a bad attitude. the leash is for safety, not to be “cute” [emoji58]

I have one that I use for my tort. I had to do a few things to get mine to fit around her, but it worked well when walking her.

I can imagine a large sulcata pulling its owner down the street like a Great Dane

I actually posted about this with a photo couple of weeks ago.

I’m really enjoying it! And she doesn’t seem to mind it a bit.

As long as they arent using it for the replacement of an enclosure there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, at least they care enough like it was a dog, unlike some people who dont care what kind of animal it is, and just treat it like a piece of garbage and even eat it.

For sure! She has a very luxurious hand made wooden 6x3 tortoise table. She’s just a spoiled little lady [emoji23]
