Came across a gopher tortoise, please read

[The Hedgehog]

It is HIGHLY prohibited to keep it(or even molest it). They also stick in one territory normally, so you should return it to the area you found it. There should be a pasture or wooded area it came from near the parking lot.

THIS. Super important to go put it back where it came from. It may be cute, but they are a protected species as well.
