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.

My 20 yr old tortoise escaped last summer. They can disappear in the rocks and leaves. We had no luck. I hope you find yours🤞

Julia Messier where in Franklin do you live? Just the general area to give people a better idea where to look. If I missed it in your original post I apologize. I hope you find her and bring her home soon.

Sheri Harbour I can absolutely assure you this IS NOT! My husband and I have been in pieces since last July looking for Tillie. She is a beloved family pet and one that is set to be in our lives for the next 40 years. Please put things like this into consideration before posting something that can be so hurtful to our search, or God forbid, turn people away from helping us when we need eyes out searching more than ever. I beg you to put yourself in my family’s shoes and understand what it feels like to spend days, weeks, months, and endless hours trying to get a community invested in a search for a pet only to have someone try to destroy it. I’m going to report this comment as false information and ask that you kindly delete it.
