Glad Timmy was reunited with his owner. I have a friend who has a sulcatta that's somewhere between 120 and 150 pounds and pushes their backyard furniture around for fun.

Yeah it's just rather surprising that the owner couldn't figure out how an animal that size got out of its enclosure

 

[RobK.]

sadly, this tortoise passed away soon after this happened . he was just put in a new enclosure and getting loose in cold weather , did him in. sad .

so sad. I have a 35 lb Sulcata that can open gates and screened porch doors with his feet. They can be sneaky. If the gate isn't locked, he will open it.

I have two 1-2lb sullys that already are mini bulldozers not the best pet tortoise they've already broke out (and I do mean broke) of their outdoor pen TWICE now they live behind cinder blocks lol

I rehomed my yearling sulcata to my friends kid as a birthday present. Helped him set up its outdoor enclosure and gave him a list of foods it can and can't eat. The kids 8 and its his first reptile apart from the anoles he's caught in the past. His dad will be helping him out a lot - know the guy well enough to say so.

I remember reading this thread when you posted it a while ago Rob, it's quite sad to hear this giant passed away.
