Good luck Kelly. I lost one of my red foots for about 20 minutes and I was so freaked out. I wish you the best. Jennifer
what a story that redfoot has to tell! i'm glad she's alive and well!
i know, i wish she could tell it!!!! she ended up only about four houses down, too! to figure she was under our noses the whole time!!!! the truly amazing thing is... how did she get in that fenced yard?!? ROFL he had a nice tight fence! the guy seemed scared of her, too, it was quite funny actually - he just pointed, "she's over there in the corner, sitting in the sun" but wouldn't go up close to her. I mean, she's really not all that big compared to the snappers running around here, that is!!!
she seems a bit upset now that she's in the house and has limited space to move around in!!! she even flipped herself over in the water dish the other day! scared the life out of me, again... i think i've gotten a few gray hairs over that tortoise!

Kelly, I am so glad to hear Sasoi is home and doing well. It always amazes me when I find people afraid of torts.
They are such sweet creatures.

Well, Kelly, at least she is home now. I am sure she had quite an adventure for herself.
Thats great news Kelly!! I had a RES disappear for about 2 months and we have block walls 2 foot deep in the dirt. Have no idea how he got there but he did and he lived under there tree for two months. So are you going to keep her, since you got rid of the other ones??
It's funny, Jen, because the first day all of the kids were saying they wanted me to keep her, especially Deontay. And now after a week, they hardly know she's here and Deontay said she's rather boring. :\ Wow have things changed??? Frankly I don't know if I'll keep her or not! She's in a bin on my kitchen counter right now, LOL, all my space is used on the rats, dragons and... kids! LOL!
Oh but I wouldn't sell her too quickly, either. After four months in the great outdoors, I think I need to give her some time to make sure she IS healthy and doing well!

I was told by my local turtle/tortoise expert that to find an escapee you need to crawl around on your hands and knees putting your eye level down to the turtles eye level. When you get down like that everything looks differently because you are now looking at stuff just like the turtle sees it. I have only had 3 escapees in the time I've been keeping tortoises and on my hands and knees I found 2 of them. And the third hibernated that winter somewhere and was found by the gardener next door come spring. HTH
Kelly that is wonderful!! I told you not to give up hope. It amazes me how often you hear great stories like yours.
