Weighed and measured Curtis! He is now 18 inches long across the carapace and weighs 35 lbs. I swear he grew just while he escaped, because he was NOT this big the last time I saw him! I also think I can confidently say he’s a male. His gulars are getting real big, and his plastron is slightly...

Yes, I do think he is now that they’ve experienced the panic of trying to find him

Just got home to Curtis, treated him to a cactus pad and a plate of mazuri :) I swear he’s grown since I last saw him! I’ll have to measure and weigh him later

Yes, my parents have put a lock on the gate and lined it with cinder blocks. Better late than never… ;)

CURTIS IS HOME! Right? I wish I could hear his story!

CURTIS IS HOME!

Curtis made it to a lake 14.5 MILES away from home in the week since his last sighting! Either someone picked him up and drove him all the way down there, or he walked around 2 miles a day in one direction. Crazy! The guy who found him is a plumber and has had 18 tortoises in the past. I haven’t...

IT WAS CURTIS! HE IS SAFE AND SOUND!

Someone might have found Curtis! Just waiting for them to call me back. The suspense is killing me and I have a 2 hour long statistics exam in an hour and 30 minutes, and they said they’ll call me back in an hour

I don’t know either, but middle schoolers will be middle schoolers, I guess. From my sister’s accounts, I get the feeling that they’re a pretty representative sample of the kids at that specific school. Hopefully I guilted them into becoming better people, because I sure tried.

Good news, that middle schooler was indeed lying. Her friend who also tried to call me made the mistake of answering my text. They didn’t even try to corroborate their stories, and she even tried to convince me they were high schoolers. She finally admitted to it being a prank when I pointed out...

I’m really thinking someone might’ve picked up Curtis and taken him with them or something. I’ve been searching all day to no avail, and my family has been looking every day after they get home. There’s been no info since the person who saw him on Monday, and they didn’t report seeing him until...

Welcome to the forum! You have a very cute little tortoise :)

Lol someone from my sister’s school just posted this

I do, I've been posting every update I get. Someone from there even spent his whole morning looking for him today :)

Right? Though people around here think every 8 inch red ear slider they see is Curtis, so I guess I'm not too surprised.

I called them again, turns out they DID get the call and send someone out, but the person didn't find anything.

Curtis is a sulcata

Right? Someone else just told me that when he was in the middle of the road on the 19th they called animal control to come get him, but it looks like they didn’t even come out and when I talked to them they said they hadn’t even had any calls

Yes, sending out people to look now! It’s been 2 days since the sighting, but having a direction and general area is great! Just trying to get more information from the person who spotted him
