Hello! My name is Isabella and I am located in Panama City Beach Florida.
Today driving on the highway I stopped and picked up a tortoise who was in the middle of the road. I believe he/she may have been hit by the passing cars in front of me. I have attached photos of him/her and a photo of the area on the shell I am concerned about.
I would love to keep him/her.
I own my home and I have a LARGE privacy fenced in yard that gets a lot of direct sunlight, with shady spots from the tall trees in my yard. I would like to keep this tortoise and build her/him a good sized habitat in my yard. I have three dogs, so I don't think letting him/her roam the entire yard would be a good idea.
She/he also has a large chunk missing from the back of the shell, near the tail.
Can anyone give me advice or thoughts on keeping this tortoise and building a habitat for it in my yard? (Photos of habitats would be greatly appreciated)
What is the best foods I need to feed this guy/gal?
What kind of tortoise is he/she?
Thank you in advance!
