Wendy Beck Scott well tell that one to Nassau county sheriff’s office when they fined a lady for picking up the gopher out of the road a placing it on the ground out of harms way . I watched the sheriff officer light her up detained her long enough to write her a ticket he was sitting in a parking lot watching this gopher in the road like he was just waiting for someone to stop and move it . I was sitting across the street waiting to pump concrete that day . The lady was yelling at this officer as he wrote the ticket saying she was just moving him of the road . I used to pull gophers to eat a long time ago when it all stopped because of this law . But what do I know everyone knows more than I do so carry on it’s not my problem anyhow

Tim it's a Sulcata tortoise. It's someone's pet that's missing. As far as gopher tortoises go, FWC states you can assist moving Gopher tortoises out of road ways, but not relocate or take them home.

On a different note: is turtle soup made with additional shrimp and kale?
