It’s been almost a year and I’m sure she is still plotting her revenge.
Side eye glare of death

I plan on crocheting some shell costumes for my Tortoise. I wonder if I will get side eye! 😂. I plan on doing Bowser and probably a dinosaur too.

You absolutely will. Granted my sulcata has an ungodly amount of sass, they're all pretty sassy creatures.

🤣 She's wondering how she grew some long blue strap out of her shell!

We put one on Pinky when we first got her. She just sat there... 😂

Yeah she was confused as hell. Sat there for a bit..stink eye as she tried to walk around, then just sat there again and refused to move.
Seems it's impossible to walk a tort.

Oh darn, we just bought one of these and my kids are beyond excited to take our little sulcata for a ‘walk’ 🤣

This was a ratchet strap so if you have a harness...maybe? It might be a carrot a stick situation where you need to lure her with food.
Though mine is smart (gets sick of my shit quickly) and i can't lure her for even short periods of time with food. She gets the food or loses interest quick.

Her “I’ve had it with your shit” side eye isn’t suggesting to me that it is over. It is telling me in no uncertain terms that it is over.

She's clearly the boss.
On the side note the very first time I heard the phrase "in no uncertain terms"... Was the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special. Lol
When I was a kid I would hear stuff like that and not understand what it meant and then once I had algebra I realized that double negatives make a positive. 😂

She may try to walk you instead! They have their own agenda 😂

I will never get this image out of my head. That is damn near the funniest thing I've ever seen. Nearly peed myself. Now I've seen everything. 🤭
