Well we've called the RSPCA and they're hopefully going to come take it off our hands today, so until then he is chilling in our bathtub, no bites so far but I haven't tried to share a bath with it just yet.

All a bit strange really, I've never sat on a 176 carrying a terrapin before.

We're thinking the exact same thing, it has webbed feet and from our web investigation this morning we're thinking it's one of these:

Time to call the RSPCA I think

Thanks for your help guys (and cheers to Smoker for going out of your way), I'll give the number on the Goodrich road poster a call, you never know

He says hey

Hi all,

I was exiting Forest Hill station tonight at about 10pm when I found what I think is a tortoise by the barriers, since there are no gardens or anything nearby I can only assume somebody intentionally left it there for someone else to find. If I'd have left it someone could have stepped on it, so it's now sitting in a cardboard box in my living room with some salad and a saucer of water.

Are there any tortoise/turtle experts nearby who could provide a home for the little guy (or know anyone in Forest Hill who's lost one)?
