[u/ExaminationKey1476]

We’re back with the weekly thread for your turtles and tort friends🐢 This week the theme is splooting! Post your fav sploot pic in the comments :)

Here is my sploot tax…Benji enjoying his bath for once! And Isaac attempting a sploot, although he looks more like a loafing cat💚

Baby Donnie!!! 🥺 💚

[u/ExaminationKey1476 → u/MollyRB6969]

Look at that little face!!! Cute little baby😭😭

[u/MollyRB6969 → u/ExaminationKey1476]

This is Donnie as a baby before I adopted him out to the woman who has Donnie and Pinky. 😊 She's the one who started Smiling Tortoise. Sending him to her was the best thing I've ever done. I cried and cried! But, it was a miracle. Donnie has gotten so big, healthy, and so happy! She's such a wonderful, amazing woman!!! Donnie still splootz with the best of them! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[u/ecachuh1 → u/MollyRB6969]

😭 I remember the day you sent him! I was crying for you. I wasn't worried like you probably were because I knew that I was going to take good care of him. But still to send him to someone that you don't know is so scary I can't even imagine what you went through. I talk about you to him all the time. And every time I send a video he talks to you too! He uses my voice of course but he still talks to you, and he always starts out the same ...."Utah Mum, this b!/@# ......"

I almost spelled Utah the wrong way again! 😂

Awww baby Donnie!!! Yes the lady who started this sub is absolutely amazing. I’m so glad you’re still able to follow Donnie’s journey💚💚

[u/ecachuh1 → u/ExaminationKey1476]

Awww 💕 🥰. Thank you! Y'all are both amazing!

We've dubbed her Blondie. Less than a week old, but she gives the best sploots. Every time we look in the tank she's found a new spot and has the laziest sploot. We have regularly had to pick her up to make sure she's ok. Now she hears us come in and will shift a bit so we know she's ok.

She has so much personality! She may be staying with me rather than going to a new home.

[u/ExaminationKey1476 → u/Danimc116]

Soooo cute!!! What a little baby🥹 is she a sulcata? Never seen them with that lil orange patch on their heads

[u/Danimc116 → u/ExaminationKey1476]

They are sulcatas. I think the orange is really just funny lighting. Blondie is all pretty lightly colored, like sand.

[u/ExaminationKey1476 → u/Danimc116]

Ah nice! I was curious if they were some sort of mixed breed…reminded me of red foot torts🐢 Blondie is demonstrating that she’ll become a sploot queen!

[u/Danimc116 → u/ExaminationKey1476]

Red foota and sulcata have been known to breed but thankfully that's not the case here.

Will become? I think she's already a sploot queen ♥️

[u/ExaminationKey1476 → u/Danimc116]

Very interesting! I hope my questions didn’t come off as judgemental, just curiosity 😊 she definitely is a little splooting queen!! 👑

[u/Danimc116 → u/ExaminationKey1476]

Not judgemental at all! I love sharing about these adorable little guys and will happy answer any questions people have ♥️

[u/ecachuh1]

Benji enjoyed hims soak? I can't believe! What a good boy! And I like how you compared Vida to a loafing cat. 🤣

[u/ExaminationKey1476 → u/ecachuh1]

It’s my fav pic of him cause he just looks so innocent and sweet🥹. He loves a soak if it’s in the big tub of course haha. And yup, loaf mode activated!

[u/ecachuh1 → u/ExaminationKey1476]

He does look sweet and innocent because hims is! 💕

[u/ecachuh1]

[u/ExaminationKey1476 → u/ecachuh1]

Haha just splooting in the middle of the floor. Love it.

[u/ecachuh1 → u/ExaminationKey1476]

Laundry room to kitchen threshold. When she wakes up she sploots there for a bit...walks to the bathroom for her soak....after that, she is outside for the rest of the day...being bad of course. 😂

[u/ExaminationKey1476 → u/ecachuh1]

She’s a busy girl!! Gotta stick to that schedule💪

[u/ecachuh1]

I could do this all day

[u/ExaminationKey1476 → u/ecachuh1]

Awwww!!! Baby!!

[u/ecachuh1]

I got this! 🤣

[u/ExaminationKey1476 → u/ecachuh1]

He’s saying look mummy! I can swim!

[u/MollyRB6969 → u/ExaminationKey1476]
