I have a small turtle and live on a 7th floor. I also have dogs, so sometimes I USED to place my turtle box on the balcony because the dogs can annoy the turtle. So basically Dario (my turtle) managed to get off his box (which was bigger than him and I didn’t even think it was possible..), so long story short he fell 6 stories and luckily fell on a plastic roof that the parking lot has and after that he jumped to the first floor... so when I realized this happened because the security guard called me, I went down freaking out, I found Dario spitting blood... I was terrorized and took him to the vet and they checked him. He didn’t have big injuries, and I took him home right away. 2 days after this Dario is back!! I guess a turtle’s shell is really strong and saved Dario. Really greatful for this and not leaving him on the balcony EVER!
