Long lost tortoise.

20 years ago I raised a baby desert tortoise and left it with a friend of mine when I went to California for a few years, About 8 or 10 years ago she gave him away with a couple of other tortoises she had accumulated. I'd love to have him back, We called him Widget. A long shot, I know, but miracles can happen.

I guess we'll just... call out his name and see if he comes?

EDIT: sonofabitch, it worked.

Did she return the tortoise to an “approved adoption facility” per game & fish regs? It might be possible to track Widget down that way. According to the website the Desert Museum is an approved facility, so if she took him there they probably have records of where he went.
