Oo, what this right here?
OUCH, that's my ear!
Fleshy.
Nank's never nibbled me, although he's "nipped" (without actually chomping down) on my nails because he liked the color nail polish.

He does like my ears, but not like you say, the first time he discovered my ear he literally stuck his face IN my ear! And you think a "wet-willy" is bad lol!

I took a tortoise out drinking once, but I'm a gentleman, and that's as far as it went !View attachment 108398

Has anyone ever slept with their tortoise. Like you would with a dog. What are your views on it. Should it b done

I have a little girl who would want NOTHING more than to sleep with our tortoise:) That would be the happiest little girl bed in the whole world...Sadly, Mom will always say "No."

I remember when I was in Elementary school, "The Snake Lady" visited our school. A woman travelled around with all of her snakes in a big Motorhome and put on events for schools and societies. She was pretty amazing. I do remember that she said her pythons slept in bed with her. She laughed and told all the kids how cuddly they were.

No, I've never. I don't think it be very comfortable to 'cuddle' with miss sulcata for a night! :confused::p
I totally agree with you Yello Turtle01. I could never imagine "cuddling" my tort in bed :confused:...it sounds funny somehow. Let alone that I don't think that the tort would like it: they do not like to be cuddled:tort:.

When I first rescued Tidgy, I had no enclosure, no heating in the house, no UVB or heat source other than wifey and my bodies.
Tidgy was traumatized and injured. It was November and a little cold.
Our bed is actually two kingsized pushed together and we created a gap between the mattresses, the inch or two necessary, as she was so small, filled it with warm towels, on a hot water bottle and slept either side of her for three or four nights until I could get an enclosure for her sorted out and read up on the internet all I could about tortoise keeping.
I felt better being near her and I'm sure it helped her to adjust to our odours.
For the last couple of days of this time, we would put her on the bed and she would walk to her correct place and snuggle in.
She never had an 'accident' in the bed.
That was 3 and a half years ago.
Wouldn't do it now of course, but I couldn't think of a better plan at the time.

If my girlfriend came home, and found me in bed with the tortoise. Tortoise envy would change to tortoise rage, I'm not sure if me or the tortoise would survive.
If that's the case.....I'd advice you not to try it, ;) think of the poor little tort:p !

Not a good idea as far as I know.

All I can say is, “TMI" I know I want no more details…
