Some children just knocked on my door with a sulcata they found. It was hard to get the full story because they're ten year olds, but I think it was found between a few days ago and a week ago. It was found in Davie, Florida on Dykes Road between Stirling and Sheridan Street. It's maybe 9 inches or so long. It's pretty clean. Or at least clean enough that I suspect it hasn't been lost for long. I'll attach a few pictures. Note the split scute. Is anyone missing their tort or know someone in the area that might be missing their tort?
Even if you don't, I can use some advice. I have a 12" sulcata. It took about 2 minutes for him to start chasing the found tortoise around trying to mount it. I'm not sure if the new tortoise is male or female. Can I keep them together for a few days while I look for the owner? Or will my 12" boy hurt the 9" tort? Also, what else should I be doing to find the owner? I'm posting here, I'll post on Reddit, and I'll put up some flyers. What else should I do?
