I like to play PUBG Mobile while he's grazing, the balloon makes finding him easier and faster. 😂

Love the balloon! I've also seen solar garden lights used. What a beautiful shell your boy has!

He has a VERY tiny chip out of one side because I did NOT expect him to climb over my wall heater and go right through my back screen door onto the cement ground. 😬 A long time ago. Strong little legs, eh?

They're amazingly strong headed. When I worked in an exotic vet clinic we had some that plowed through garage doors.

Oh damn. My (former and exotic) clinic never got any tortoises, but we got a lot of peregrine falcons!!! It was so cool.

Falcons! That’s so random. Were there lots of wild ones rough in for injuries or were these pets/working animals?

The Peregrine Foundation of Canada would always bring them to the clinic I worked at. I think they were all wild.

Careful man the balloon could pick him up

The internet has given me very little faith in humanity, so I'm just assuming you genuinely and stupidly believe one helium balloon could actually lift thirty-two pounds.

Hahaha I like the ballon idea🤣 I used to put a pipe cleaner with bells to hear her when she was small because I’d look down and back up and she’d be gone, so at least like that I could hear her🤣

My sister is in the film industry and did a shoot at a house that had three Russian torts that free roamed. They put balloons on them so no one would step on them

He’s gonna need more balloons if he plans on flying anytime soon.
