Message from Owner

My husband and I are beyond gutted. We have been searching endlessly for days for our beloved tortoise and have yet to find her. She is 6" long x 4.5" wide. She is incredibly hardy, and we know she is still out there. We need your help locating her and bringing her ! Please look around your yard! She is a land-only tortoise and CANNOT SWIM. She will be basking in the sun in the early morning/afternoon, otherwise she will be hiding under bushes/shrubs or other low structures (decks/sheds/rock formations), or in plants, leaves, or pine needle piles. She loves to dig and burrowing can happen, especially when the weather has been very cool or it’s time for bed (around 4 pm). Look for loose soil and other clues of disturbance. She tends to burrow out a little half cave for herself (see the picture of her in the pine needles) and very rarely will be fully covered, but it’s not impossible. Even in that case, you will still see loose soil as a hint.

What do they eat ? Best to pay attention to their type of food source?

I’m back at camp hoping to see Tillie sun bathing on a rock somewhere. Wouldn’t it be wonderful? I see your flyers and they help remind me to keep my eyes peeled. I am praying for a happy ending to this story. 🙏 by the way you have my permission to look on my property. Welcome. I have not raked yet this spring, so there are lots of hiding places available.
