Book Review - Can You Make a Desert Tortoise Your Pet?

The desert tortoise is an endangered species in California, so you are not supposed to take them as pets, but if they wonder onto your property or dig under the fence to find shade and food, or make a home burrowing under the yard, you aren't allowed to move them, unless you call in a special wildlife biologist to assist. It's quite a tricky endeavor. However, sometimes you can make them feel more at home and they make nice pets. Still, you might not wish to get too attached, eventually they decide to leave, and often don't return for a while, sometimes never.
