They're pretty heavy, but more important is how you'd have to carry them by yourself. Uncomfortable and awkward for the human and tortoise.

I've hefted similar sized snapping turtles before. They're definitely not too heavy, though it isn't exactly picking up an empty box either. But if you try to carry them by yourself, you've got their shell or their belly against you or you're kind of waddling along while you hold them by the sides.

One of those in the picture isn't as dangerous as a snapping turtle, but they can still bite hard. So a two man carry is safer for the people as well as the critter.
