He still needs a name

[Weda737]

Sorry about the bad quality, I got a cheapo webcam and it's really dark in my room, which is why he's on my laptop, best lighting I had at the moment.

Thinking of calling him 'Paul' or 'Dug' but I'm totally open to suggestions

Wook at dat gwumpy fayce lol

LOL I LOVE that "gwumpy" face!
I think Doug would be very fitting! (sorry, Dug lol just re-read your post)

 

[Weda737]

more pics...

some shell action... I think he's pretty smooth.

I'm not really sure how bumpy babies generally are, but that slight lumpyness was there when I got him, his new growth seems fine, haven't had him very long though...since...let me look... July 13th. Looks to me basically like a ridge around his original hatchling scutes. Normal?

No way! I was going to ask about that, but I felt kinda silly...I love that movie!
Your his master and he loves you...
His shell does look smooth

Also, those are some pretty good pics for a webcam...better than most of my cell phone pics lol

Look at a world map! There are some neat names on there! I named my dog Java once because if i remember correctly it was a small island and fit his coloring.

Actually, I had him outside yesterday, I had a blanket on the ground and was just enjoying some fresh air, Normally when he's out I keep him in his little enclosure, but since I was right there I just let him walk around. He wouldn't go any more than about 5 feet away then he'd turn his little tail and walk right back and into my hand just to "check in." It was awesome, I'm so used to snakes and other reptiles that, well, they aren't very loyal lol

Nice, I like Dugy!

I like Paul. Tortoise faces remind me of that awful alien movie I saw last March. His name was Paul.

 

[Kristina]

Looks like a Wilfred to me...

 

[FranklinTturtle]

Name it Myrtle Or Duke or Maybe Archibald

I like the "sweet," "gentle," baby-type names so that when he gets to be BIG AND UGLY, and his name is something like "Fluffy," it makes people laugh.

I totally agree with Yvonne.. which is kind of why we went with Squirt for our Sulcata.. it's fitting now.. but in a few years it'll be funny and cute! What about Pee-Wee?

First thing that came to mind was Hank.

That was kinda the idea, he's rude and he farts... lol

That's why I'm having such a hard time naming him, he's going to look so different as an adult.

Aww, I can't do that, I had a wonderful dog named Hank, and there can only be one. But thanks anyway

Tiny

I can see it now, in a few years I'll have friends over and say, " I want you to meet Tiny," and a big sulcata comes lumbering over, they scream and run. Good thing I like my solitude.

I love the movie "up" so I'm all for Dug.
The only problem I'd have if "Dug" turns out to be female.
