Sorry for replying until now. Just now I got my computer up and running again.

But anyways, thanks to everyone for your responses.

And thank you for recommending your friend at the zoo in Brownsville. I'm actually about maybe 45 minutes away from the zoo. I was planning on going to a city near brownsville in the next few weeks. So I will be stopping by the zoo as well. So they will be releasing this tortoise into an area that's safe for it? I want to see when this happens! I love this tortoise : )

I will call the zoo this week and get something worked out.

Thanks alot for talking to your friend about it. Really appreciate it.
