So pleased that he's been reunited with his owners.
We have an elderly family friend who has had a tortoise since she was a child. He's now 70 and she had no idea what he was (he's a gorgeous big ibera). I'm not sure people always knew what they had back then when the tortoises were shipped in and sold cheaply and they don't think to do any research. To her a tortoise was just a tortoise.
