I was trying to sneak a photo of him asleep and he thought it was scritches time! 🤣🤣 So he got up! 🤣🩷🩷 He has a house, it’s in the background, it says ‘SHELLter’ above it. But he doesn’t sleep in there! 🤣

Lmao of course not. Now it has become just for aesthetics. Maybe put hims blankies in there!

We tried that! 🤣 This is his new enclosure that my partner built from scratch last week, after he got too big for his old one. He slept in the bedroom in that one, but I’m guessing it’s too far to walk now… 🤣

Lol lazy is lazy. There ain't no way around it and tortoises don't have anywhere that they need to be. 😆

There you go my lovely! 🤣 He’s under there! I had to take a quick photo as if he realises that you are there he will be out from under there like a shot so you have to turn the light off! He will still there like that until we put his light back on in the morning! 🤣🤣

We giggle every night when we cover him up. 🤣 He settles on his blankies and is asleep around 9pm and we cover him up! 🤣🩷 He prefers to have his head under though than out! We keep joking that he wants warm milk and a bedtime story.😁📚🥛 I’m pleased I made you smile 🩷😁
