Look at this big baby I saw in front of me whilst driving down my road today. The shell was at least 18". Certainly not your average tortoise that you see wandering down the road.

I hope he/she reached their destination in one piece!!

Yes, it should have been picked up and moved to a more suitable place.
May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil know`s you`re dead!
Re: Tortoise
Don't worry guys, I sat and stared for a while, and it dawned upon where it must have escaped from. Thankfully, I right. It was largest I've ever seen outside of zoos, etc. I'm pretty sure it would have been worth a few Baht.
A happy ending.

My thoughts exactly when I saw BB's post - wouldn't have got past the chopsticks if it was China!!

Funnily enough, my first thought was it would make a nice soup...

Well, polished up it would make an excellent fruit bowl...
It would go nicely with my turtle shell collection.
