Every year, Shelly the tortoise gets lost or manages to escape the garden.
It can take days to find her. I would like to build a locating device so
that I can track her down.
The basic requirements a

Use a blob of epoxy resin with a long string stuck in it and tie it to a
post! Either that or glue a mobile to it and call each night - you should
hear the ringtone. You can already get small tracking devices if you look
on a search engine such as GOOGLE.
I didn't think people still had tortoise! They go for between £400 and £500
in the UK depending on the seller and people in some countries eat the poor
things. They turn them upside down and cut the insides out. Quite
revolting.
