So let’s say I had aqcuired a young tortoise, and wanted it to eventually be fast. Could I strap a weight on a rope to its shell and gradually increase the weight a few grams every week or month until I have the fastest tortoise in the world?

    Tortoises go faster the hotter they are; comes from having a cold blooded metabolism. So to make it faster, acclimate it to hotter environments as well as putting it on a muscle building regime.
