Wild caught tortoise!!
I am down in Corsica at the moment and found an adult male hermanns tort at the side of the road.. Has anyone else done this? I was expecting him to be scared and withdraw into his shell, however he was just like a captive one and we could tickle his chin etc .. He was in good condition and looked very fit.. Perhaps he was a pet one that escaped? I didn't know what to do with him so I put him near a group of houses well away from the road .. I have never handled a wild one before so I don't know how scared they would be ?
