It's expired and gone to meet its maker. It has ceased to be! It's a stiff! It's gone on and rolled up the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible! This is an Ex-Tortoise!

I like turtles! - Jonathan The Zombie Kid

YDI for not confirming its status. I'm sure there's some simple way you could have gotten it to come out of it's shell if it had been alive. P.S.— I won't quote it since everyone else already has, but this fml immeditely think of the Monty Python skit.

That sucks, but YDI for buying a pet that you know so little about that you can't tell if it's sleeping or dead. Always research pets, especially ones that are as exotic as tortoises. The store should give you your money back and tell everyone you know what happened. They're crooks who preyed on your ignorance.

Too all the idiots posting: The OP clearly said tortoise. While only some turtles are "like" tortoises, not all tortoises are like turtles.

What would have been more funny is if he bought an empty shell with green plado in it. Now THAT is what I call good salesmanship.

it has ceased to be!!!

No. No. He's just resting. The Norwegian blue: beautiful plumage.
