This cutie π’ππ’ is the latest graduate from quarantine - a period of isolation every new (bergskilpad) intake goes through to ensure they have no underlying illnesses to spread to the others in our care. Like so many, this little one was illegally kept as a pet, but now has a real chance at a free and wild future.
Tortoises are and it is illegal to keep them without a permit in South Africa. Fines start at R5000, or 6 months jailtime upon conviction.
