So, two years ago we had one of our infamous tortoise breakouts. Sadly at that time we didn't recover them all. BUT as of LAST NIGHT that has changed!
Last night while I was showering to head out to services with the family there was a knock at the front door from our across the lake neighbors. It seems there was large tortoise munching its way through some of another neighbors caladiums. Now across the lake is in reality is about a football field and half not very far at all. So, this tort was doing a pretty good job of laying low.
My wife Jennifer, ran their phone to me in the shower and sure enough it was the missing tortoise. It has a scar on its back from battling with another tort so it's pretty obvious.
A quick ride over confirmed the that it was him/her (we aren't sure which) although MUCH bigger then the last time we saw it.
So, Lucky as it is now known is back in the MEGA pen with others! Following that break we hired a contractor to helps us build a 1500 sq ft space for them. To say we were beyond shocked is an understatement! Crazy!
