Well, I live by a lake with more than enough turtles. They're actually pretty fast little creatures on land. I've caught a bunch of them, take the hooks out and let them run off the end of the dock back into the water.. Technically they're not tortoises though, just mostly sliders.. Who would want to snuggle up to a tortoise to watch a football game?
