Cauldron tortoises

The bigger your town, the more they spread out.

Then I won't get many, in such short amount of time!

Where are most of the tortoises found? I only seem to find 10 to 15. I use to find 10 times more for some reason.

Roads.

If you limit your roads to the cauldrons location you'll start to see quite a bit.

I used to regularly get 200-250, but then they changed the way it works so now I only get around 20

How could you possibly get that many? My record is 159, and that's from my #3 town that was tiny when we first got it - and by tiny I mean it was about 4 screens of land.
I have the perspective of having 3 towns so I could see the difference by town size. All 3 of my towns have limited streets and I placed the cauldron right near them. My #1 town was biggest so I saw the fewest there. My #2 town was a bit smaller, so I caught a few more. My number 3 town was tiny so I couldn't keep up with them - the street would still be full when the timer ran out.
My towns have grown drastically since then and now I clear the patch of street near the Cauldron, then go hunting for more.

Me too, I think it was a glitch, that when we tapped one, it counted more than it should have, but it was much more fun. I think they fixed the bug or whatever, cuz ever since, I can barely get any. I just played and only found 5, & time was up.

There was a glitch that allowed turtles to be multi tapped if you were quick enough. That has now been fixed so now I find 25-30 to be pretty normal.

I tap turtles until the pepper is close to running out, then hit the back arrow on the top left of the screen and get 600+ turtles. If I don’t have time to even tap those few, I just hit the back arrow and get around 500, the XP and a chance at a prize. I’ve received many Elder Gods as well.
Before you hit start, let the turtles gather, saves the frustration of searching too far.

How does hitting the back arrow help get 600+ turtles?

I hit the back arrow when the time was close to running out and it didn't show how many turtles I got -- but I did get my first Lightup elder god and I've only had the insanity game for like 2 weeks.

Even if you got 200, the payout isn't significant. I play for the bonus prizes, some of which have multipliers. Love the sugarcane fields for my farm.
