Freggyragh Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Back in my tortoise keeping days I found that painting the pet's name on his shell in large white letters was a good theft deterrent. Mind you, it didn't help me remember to take him out of his box in Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
