I thought it would be fun to have funny pics posted of your Tortoises! This is THOR, my 17 year old Male Sulcata after eating some pumpkin! Anyone else have any funny pics?

He is funny. He sure must love pumpkin. I have a Cherryhead Tortoise and they don't get very big from what I'm hearing. Since your tortoise is 17 years old how big is he it's hard for me to tell? Do you know how much he weighs? Candy

THOR was rescue, and was very neglected for years before I got him. Even though he does not have any shell defects, he was VERY underweight when I got him. He is about 20 inches long and weighed just 29 pounds when I got him. That was 3 years ago, and he is now up to just under 60 pounds. Still a little short of where he should be for this size and age.
Well he's lucky you found him then. He's a cutie. Thanks for the information. We were looking at a sulcata but got scared off by the size that they get but I see on this site a lot of people who have them and are quite happy with them. Candy
I had no idea how much fun it was going to be having a Sulcata....now I have 8!!! They each have their own personality, they respond to their names, they love affection/attention. I just have to laugh every day when I go to their enclosure and say "Hey guys! Dinner time!"......you should see them com running to me! It is just the greatest thing to see. I do presentations at schools, and they love going with me. THOR has become quite the celebrity here in SE Michigan. BUT, like I stress in my presentations....you need a lot of space for them. It is just not fair to the Tortoise if you do not have a big enough area for him to run around in. PLUS, they eat a LOT!!!
I AM NEW HERE BUT I HAVE SOME GREAT PICTURES OF MY SULCATA AND RUSSIANS.AS SOON AS I FIGURE OUT HOW TO POST THEM I WILL.THAT IS A GREAT SHOT OF YOUR SULCATA!MINE ALSO LIKES HIS PUMPKIN, RIND AND ALL
I think this one is kind of funny, for two reasons. One, I don't often see pics from this perspective, and it is amazing how different it is. I had a heck of a time taking these because they kept running closer to the camera. Kind of gives you an insight into their world. Second, the grass hanging out of Ella's mouth... Such a piglet...
This is SARGE, another rescue of mine. He is about 7 years old. He always has a piece of hay sticking out of his mounth. We call him "Country Sarge"
This is another one of THOR. Last Halloween, the local pet store had a Pet Costume Contest. THOR dressed up like a Black Widow Spider! He won first place It was very cool....people at the store were calling friends to come to the store to see THOR! he definitely was the hit of the day!

You certainly have a lot of Sulcatas for living in MI... I just plain don't have the room for that many! My two are enough
I wish all this dang snow would go away, far, far away.... It has been below zero up here for the last three days.

My Sulcatas LOVE Cactus Pears also. BUT, as with your picture, it always looks like a horror movie when they get done eating. Blood red everywhere!
My Alpha female after eating her cat food -
One of my males climbing the 'fence' [ used to protect the Rose of Sharon ] to get a bloom -
And while putting together a 'fence' for a new transplanted Rose of Sharon.. one of the females pulled down one of the branches with her right paw and was going after those tender leaves and buds!

Here is another one just from tonight. This is Sonny, my male Yellow Foot. He was buried under the hay and stuck his head out when I called his name and said it was "Dinner time"!
During the summer, Edgar decided he was old enough to start earning his own spending money. Our "Little Man" started his own landscaping company and is becoming quite the little entrepenuer, lol!
LOL! That one is too funny!
