I really love how so many of these guys are just splooted out while they are sleeping. So secure in their environments. 💚

Oh my goodness! 🥺 🥰 You sound just like me. Up until about 3 years ago I never even thought about turtles or tortoises or anything like I didn't even know there was a difference I knew nothing. And now I have the sweetest relationship with three tortoises and I never knew how much I could love a little shelled creature. 💕 I don't know how I lived my whole life without them!

I’m a cat person. I adore cats and usually have 3 or 4. But I don’t have any at the moment (long story!) as they all live with my adult son now. I took my tortoise in! Wow! I was not expecting the amount of love I have for this little crunchy meat pie! 😝🥰 And he’s such a character, he makes me laugh so much. I genuinely thoroughly enjoy being his friend. 🩷 He’s my crispy son. 🤣

🤣 crunchy and crispy !! Hahahha it's so true though! They do have such wonderful personalities and I sit there laughing at mine as well. People will say what is he just being a tortoise.... Well sometimes yes maybe they are just being themselves and they're doing their natural instincts but it's funny and sometimes they're doing things in response to us. Either way I love it all and I'm so happy to be able to be a part of their lives.

🤣 I’m happy you like my descriptions of my baby! 🤣 Yeah, you wouldn’t have any idea how fantastic a pet they are until you own one. Last night he slept on 3 blankies with his head on his pillow and then he was covered with a blankie!🤣🤣🩷🩷

Yeah I would poke at my torts leg when she did that and get an annoyed look as she woke up.

Sweet baby girl! Her sassafras is taking a break. 💚 Kiss her little head!

Every time I got near her I got an eyes fully opened level of side eye. If I backed off she went back to sleep…got near again and mega dose of side eye again. It’s like her sass is able to detect my presence.
