The picture of the tortoise from the the Roger Williams Zoo exhibits some very serious pyramiding, this is a picture of a rather sick and malnourished animal. It seems wrong to use that picture in this article, is there not a public domain photo of this species portraying a healthy animal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.237.148.208 (talk) 13:31, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but what picture would be best? I think we should put one of the tortoise in its natural habitat, and not just on but a family of them. Earthqueen13 (talk) 21:17, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t understand why there is a disproportionate amount of trivia about how many turtles were found in someone’s house or whatever. Most of the text is poorly written in general. 198.72.153.83 (talk) 22:04, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
