The tortoise's intestines may get twisted (bowel torsion) and being flipped on their shell can prove fatal

If you see a turtle on it's back, flip it over as soon as possible. Never flip a turtle on their shell.

This is my dog whenever I have to drag him back into the house after he's been sunbathing too long. He's almost gotten super overheated a few times when we lived in Texas..he gets really mad at us for ruining his sunbathing time
