    yes a tortoise can be chipped get in contact with your local vet they will be able to help sort the correct chip out etc. very responsible idea in todays society all pets should be microchiped for safty reasons and on the off chance anyone steals it hopefully it can be returned well it is easier with a chip than without

    Actually you buy the AVID chip and the Needle to install. You do not need any anisthetic just some alcohol for cleaning. Clean a Leg and insert needle under skin and insert Chip.

    Oh and KittyRogers the ASPCA cannot arrest any one in fact they ask people to chip there Pets! Stop answering questions that you know nothing about you Moron!

    in case you want melted cheese on authentic, bake the chips with the cheese on authentic. do not upload salsa onto the chips. enable people dip on the part. yet another determination is taking a smaller bottle of salsa, a 1/2 of a stick of cream cheese, placed the cheese in a plate, microwave for 30-40 5 seconds. upload salsa and combine. Chips stay in a bowl on the part.

    Why would you want to do that?

    If your tortoise is chipped you can repair it with fiberglass.

    Reported to the SPCA. No, you cannot and if you do, the SPCA will come and arrest you.
