As an update-- we located this Eastern Hermann's and it is unfortunately not Chip. We are helping the folks who found this tortoise to get it into a good home!
I'm so sorry to hear that it's not Chip. Better to know then not knowing. I hope you find ChipAs an update-- we located this Eastern Hermann's and it is unfortunately not Chip. We are helping the folks who found this tortoise to get it into a good home!
It is surprising to have such a similar tortoise walking around nearby. We are very disappointed but not giving up hope that we'll find Chip someday!I'm so sorry to hear that it's not Chip. Better to know then not knowing. I hope you find Chip
Thank you. We'll remain hopeful. Yes, I'm on every tortoise and lost pet group in the area!Please don't give up hope are there any Tortoise Groups in your area that are on Facebook?

Thank you for helping him anyway!Thank you. We'll remain hopeful. Yes, I'm on every tortoise and lost pet group in the area!
I know, it is frustrating. We are in Southeastern PA so he might not have survived the winter here, though he was a resourceful guy and I'm optimistic. He came to us with a respiratory infection. We did a vet-prescribed treatment and it got much better, but not completely better. And we have foxes and occasional hawks around here, so all these things worry me, but I'm remaining hopeful!I'm sorry he was not Chip. At least you are able to help this one.
Chip come out come wherever you are!
I remain hopeful (for you) as well!! Just keep looking. Best wishesI know, it is frustrating.

I'm so happy for you! I think it's Chip. 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢💞In the area where he was found no one is missing him. I know because he was spotted there, but not picked up the first time, so I put flyers in all mailboxes, local business, on the Facebook and all online groups, etc. I've checked all the lost pet forums daily and no one has posted. Today 2 little girls found him and the parents still had my flyer.
His mannerisms are exactly Chip (and different from our others). He looks a little more sunken in/ skinny which is making his limbs look longer, presumably from walking and being out on his own for so long (or maybe someone had him and released). He ha
Wow! Wow! Wow! I'm so pleased!!!!;In the area where he was found no one is missing him.

He has had 2 good soaks and is eating his favorites dandelion greens, clover and a little radicchio voraciously.
