You said it's mysterious but you're using your hand to caress it with reckless abandon.

Danielnino00:
I think I'll do this ..
It's possible it came from the swampy area behind our compound...

Mariangeles:
It's so cute. Keep it as a pet.
Find out what tortoises eat, so that you can know what to feed it.

Danielnino00:
I only held it once to take the pictures...

Perhaps you are suggesting that the creature might be carrying some sickness or its appearance is superstitious

I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this.. Mods,kindly help me move it to the right one.

So, I woke up this morning to find this creature in one of the buckets in the bathroom. My little nephew told me that he found it at our backyard this morning.
We don't know how it got there. Our backyard isn't bushy,neither is our area. Although there's some swampy land behind our compound,and it's possible that the heavy rain that's been falling for the past few weeks could have influenced it's migration to our compound.

The problem now is, we are confused on what to do with it.. My mom is talking about keeping it and raising it,but I don't think that's a good idea. A tortoise isn't an ideal pet in my opinion. We don't even know how to take care of it...
I suggested we sell it to a mini zoo that's located not too far from our area, but I'm not sure they would be willing to buy it.

I'm quite confused on what to do... Your advices would be well appreciated. Thank you

Says who? I’ve been keeping a tortoise as pet for close to 8yrs now. So yes it can be domesticated, given that you can take care of it.

Dash me make i add join the one i get for house.

Danielnino00:
I can't do that o.. For one thing, I won't have the time since I'll be leaving home soon...For another, a tortoise is hardly my idea of a pet.
Thanks all the same...
