The Turtle Yard Finder is made for people who not only own a pet turtle or tortoise, but who allow them to roam around freely outdoors on nice summer days. Because of their green-colored shells, it can be hard to spot them on the lawn, which could lead to loss or something worse. These cute crocheted cosies are brightly colored to make them easily spottable.
Created by Etsy user Katie Bradley, who is based in Vancouver, Washington, the Turtle Yard Finder could be likened to dog coats. Available in a variety of vibrant hues and fun designs, it comes with a stretchy band to compensate for the reptile's growth. Bradley does clarify, "This is meant as a 'for fun' tortoise accessory to use occasionally, and does not substitute good husbandry."
