Hello from Austin, TX

[Crickie]

I found a tortoise in my driveway heading towards the street(my friend almost ran over it).
Let me start by saying, I don't have ANY experience with tortoises. I was told it is a Salcata Tortoise. It seems to be pretty active and has been eating fine. I just wanted to show pictures and make sure he looks "normal".
Thank you, Christi

Hi Christi! Glad your friend did not run him over. So have you started searching for his owner?

Hi Christi:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

I'm sure someone is just beside themselves with worry about where their tortoise is. Please do everything in your power to reunite this tortoise with his owner.

Yikes! I hadn't thought of that. I will get my daughters to help me make signs to post. Like I said, I don't have any experience with tortoises, so I never even thought about it being a pet(bad on my part...I feel horrible). Thanks for pointing that out.
