    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have a friend who is missing a 5 year old sulcata tortoise. It escaped Sunday, august 13. where would it go? How could it be caught? Please respond soon.
 
It might go anyplace. It might be hiding close to home in some bushes, or it might be putting on as many miles as it can.
There really is no shortcut to finding a missing tortoise. Put out fliers, notify the local humane society, and keep looking.
 
I had the same problem my big male, back at my old house, would push our wooden fence open and get out all the time. I've always found him, also in our neighbor hood. Look at houses around the area with a lot of grass or a big garden. Also look for places where he might be resting, a good spot with some shelter. Also look for spots where he can get a drink from a yard with some water build up or an area of street with water in the gutter. I've also found him once at a local park (1-2 blocks) away that has a huge grass areas with a lot of trees. They can go kinda far. Best way to find a lost animal is on bike, remember that.


GOOD LUCK!!
