Shelldon

Shelldon is the official party animal of the Daytona Tortugas and has been entertaining thousands with his crazy antics at Jackie Robinson Ballpark since 2015. This athletic surfer-dude turtle knows how to bring more fun to games and community events, leading him to being named the #1 mascot in the Florida State League by The Athletic, 2022’s Best MiLB Mascot by LetsGet2, and a 2022 Best Mascot Honorable Mention by GameOps.com.

Despite being one of the youngest mascots in the league, he’s one of the most social media-savy. He’s always posting new dances and stunts on his many social media pages under the username @ShelldonTortuga.

At any Tortugas game, you can find Shelldon tumbling and flipping around the ballpark, performing hilarious skits and incredible stunts on the field, showering opposing fans in silly string, and breakdancing on the dugout.
