You’re down in Florida right? Sounds like you could use a yard buddy to help trim weeds or exist in an outdoor enclosure! Assuming you have the space/yard ofc, which in this economy…

Thank you 
…as you can probably tell, I would have loved to keep him. But I know that I had to release him so that he can continue. But it was such a rewarding experience…I brought him home and gave him something to drink and eat while I made sure he wasn’t going to develop any symptoms from being hit by the car. I got those pictures and just enjoyed him for an hour or so and then I took him and relocated him to a protected area (I walk there a lot…so I took him a ways in). Loved him…so happy to see that he was ok after the accident.

Love these guys! I’ve been reading a bit about smaller tortoise species lately, and I think the Indian Stars are some of my favourites, they’re so freaking pretty.
Though if I had the space, I’d love to have a whole herd of giant tortoises.

Yup I would have sulcatas and Galapagos and aldabras! The Indian stars are by far my favorite of the smaller species but boy are they expensive!
I love tortoises period!
