Benji decided I was stealing his lettuce, he acted fast to save it!🐢🥬

Slummin it for now…

I’ve already had to patch the box…she’s had it for less than a few hours.

My son and daughter-in-law went there yesterday and took this awesome picture. They're so cute! 🥰

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💚

Topaz says hello!

I left her old box outside with the intention of cutting it up before tossing it. She decided to destroy it further

Please enjoy scout the tortise

Like any good tortoise that is spiritually a cat, she loves boxes. To that end, I always ensure that she’s got a box in her indoor pen.

The last one, a Home Depot heavy duty moving box, must have been her all time favorite. Of course as she is a sulcata, she absolutely demolished it.

She is now sulking over the loss of the box that she destroyed.

It’s been 4 nights and she absolutely is avoiding the new one (not a Home Depot moving box). She will sleep next to it, push it around, wedge herself behind it…anything but sleep or chill in it.

Sigh. I guess it’s time to make a trip to Home Depot.

Benji got himself up at 8:30am this morning! He tucked in to his breakfast then went back to bed 😆

We love seeing your tortoises, turtles, and terrapins! 🐢

Today, we want to give everyone a chance to show off the other pets you take care of and love.
