Maggie,

We decided to get one and have it be our spoiled little baby. I think my fiance is scared if I got more than one I'd keep getting more and more. We'll re-think this once we're out of an apartment though. Someday if I both have a yard and live in a warm climate I'd like to adopt a Sulcata. My fiance thinks it would be cool to have a dog and a tort, with the tort bigger than the dog.

My fiance wanted a dog and I talked him into getting the tort I've always wanted (I wanted a big one but a Russian still has the cuteness factor and is more manageable any size place we'd live in while still satisfying the want). I convinced him having a dog would impact our life more and be more expensive month to month, while we could still go away for the weekend with the tort and Trevor was only expensive the first month or two (spent all my xmas bonus on him!). He's since learned to love Trevor and now considers him like a son! It's so cute how spoiled the little guy is.

That all makes sense, thanks for answering my nosy question!

 

[tortoisenerd]

Not nosy at all! I'm just not the norm here at the forum as I'm crazy about torts but still only have one. Spoiled little bugger. I totally missed his waking hours again. He was already in his burrow. I stuck my finger in to double check he was in there and I got a nasty hiss back from him! All his food was gone so I imagine he had a fun day...

Here is my little Henry again. Taking in January. I date all the photos just to see how fast he's growing.

I put him on my coffee table, then he peed on it lol

Here he is again after having his breakfast

How does he seem to like the cacti? hehe What kind of substrate it that? Cute!

I think he believes the fake cacti are toys, the tall one he knocks over and drags around his enclosure. The substrate is some type of wood shavings, I bought it because it was the same substrate the reptile store was using in all the tortoise tanks.

You should get him a little ball so he can push that around. Maybe a golf ball or something like that. Maggies (Bob) has a ball and he pushes it around she says. Of course you might want to think about it a little first because if he gets used to a ball as a baby he'll probably become an obsessed adult Sulcata. I'm just speaking from my experience with my Chocolate Labrador. When we brought her home she was so little and cute she picked up a tennis ball in her mouth and of course that thrilled us because her mother loved playing ball also. Well now that she's 1 year old she drives us crazy if she doesn't have a ball and you don't throw it to her. It's taking some time, but we're breaking her slowing of the obsession. Candy

Oh he had one. Once he was walking around and found one of my cat toys, he was snapping at the plastic ball for half an hour.

It was fun to watch.

I love picturing that. It's so funny. It's like a small version of "Bob". Candy

I wanted to add these to the thread of "show off your tort pictures", but it seemed like there was so many there now...so I just started a new thread. I hope that is alright.

Cute Stace, nice photo's

Here is Henry again soaking up some rays by the pool. It’s HOT today. I made sure there was water in his enclosure and his food was wet. But two hours was long enough for the both of us.
