It's finally that time of the year where the baby tortoises are hatching out of the ground! Here in Arizona it's one of the only places where people have success by letting Sulcata Tortoises hatch out naturally.

The other day I got some UNBELIEVABLE footage of my tortoise laying eggs. We also went around and fed ALL the tortoises and put the GoPro on Ike for the day! Full Video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbmAnJOnkrfbmZc.html

I'm from AZ too and my neighbor found a baby sulcata tortoise walking in her yard. We were very confused about where it came from. No one near us has reptiles but some friends and I. So seeing this baby we decided to walk around looking for more as well to see if there was someone with tortoises that was near. We didn't find anything, no babies, and not anyone who owed tortoises too. There was talk last year about someone's pet getting out but I had no idea if that was near me or not or if there are just wild tortoises living near my area that someone released. The baby still has a yolk sack on it when we found it. I decided to keep it as I have the space for it when it is bigger and experience with reptiles already. We are just confused about where they could have come from. It's been about a week now and still no sign of others. But the one I have is doing well.

Same thing happened to me last week. I also live in Arizona but the townhome community I live in is all grass. We have houses behind us but other than that it just appeared out of nowhere on the sidewalk the other day. I looked around and still look and haven’t found any others so I think someone’s pet just got out. I put out flyers and no one called so I gave it to my friend down in Tucson who has a big ranch with other Sulcata’s. It was too cute though. Sadly we only have a small balcony and that’s it, it deserves more. Zeus is now living his/her best life in southern AZ.

Just conjecture, but the hatching area has plenty of vegetation, so they wouldn't starve. There's shade, and there's water for the bigger tortoises, no predators. He probably sells them, so picking them up is like picking $500 from the ground. If any deaths, if at all, it'll be absolutely minimal.
