Lost my 5" male russian tort on June 26, and I live in suburban Texas. The temperatures are averaging 85* at dawn/dusk and 97* during the day. He escaped from under the backyard fence bc my enclosure was backed up against it. The fence has several burrows underneath going to the driveway from rabbits coming in and out, so I am considering the possibility of him circling back into the backyard. The driveway is entirely concrete and goes into another concrete alleyway in all directions. We also have a large fig bush in the backyard that I suspected he might be under so I trimmed it back but still nothing.
Is it more likely for the tort to wander across the whole 300ft alleyway or is it more likely for him to turn back to the front yards?
How far might he go in a week?
Also can they smell where water is bc we have a pond 0.7mi away and I'm scared hes going towards it.
Thank you for your help
