~Lamont is not a tortoise after all! he is a Florida Box Turtle. They live in wooded areas, not in water. he will spend the weekend in the courtyard to see if he can make it there. he climbed over every inch of the courtyard in the first 10 minutes. Also found out that they make good pets, but not in cages or aquariums that they can see out of. They need to be in enclosed bins or boxes. If they can see out, they spend 99% of their time trying to get out..... until they die!
