Prevent runaway tortoise with an Apple.

   Anybody that has cared for a tortoise outdoors knows they like to wander.  I have caught George, several times, pushing at the gate that leads down to the driveway and street.   Not wanting her to become a speed bump in my urban neighborhood, I had to devise a way to prevent her escaping.  This barricade stops her for now.   However in a few years she will be able to push it right over.  She could grow over 100 pounds in less than 10 years.   I'll reinforce it when necessary.   Full grown Sulcata tortoises have been known to push over a chain link fence if they want to get to the other side.  Or dig under it. They are very strong and they love to dig.

Step 1: Tools and supplies.

(1)Supplies needed:  Eight (8) dead or otherwise abandoned Power Macintosh computers.

Tools needed:  None

Spoken like a true blue, card carrying,  Bill Gates sycophant, Kool-Aid drinker.  What color do you like?

What? I gust believe that mac's are a Linux system with a different GUI. Wouldn't spend 600-1,000 dollars extra for having Linux installed on a computer for me.

You would be surprised how fast she can move when she sees me coming with food.  It's funny to watch.  On a warm day she can move like Touche Turtle.  On cool days, she makes the same moves, but in slow motion.

From the title I thought you were just going to place her on top of an apple so she couldn't crawl away!
