ODIN! (Shameless bragging is a Grandma's prerogative)

[Odin's Gma]

Odin at nearly 14 months old and 250 grams. What he lacks in size he makes up for with devilish good looks.

Odin is so handsome. His shell is so smooth!!

Odin is so handsome. His shell is so smooth!!

Thank you! He had a dry start in his first couple of months and still has some very slight pyramiding from it, but since I found this place it has been smooth sailing (and growing) ever since.

Looks very nice and yes, handsome. When he is much larger, you will probably never notice the slight pyramiding

 

[bouaboua]

You have a very nice looking torts. Indeed......

The rest of the family is still out of town so it's just me, Odin and the feisty felines at home, so, as soon as I got home from work I took my chelonian chum out to the playpen and got busy trimming his terribly overgrown Garden of Eat-ing.


He followed me around judging my choice of beverage and being angry that I was within the sacred bounds of his happy place.

So he retreated to his burrow which forced me to dig him out, which requires what I am sure my neighbors believe to be an a** over tea kettle situation. I'm surprised no one called 911....

On the plus side, one of the opuntias dropped not only a bloom but an immature fruit, so I figured, what the heck? Maybe this will cheer the little grump up!

I peeled it, sliced it and retrieved him from his after-party bath...

and gently set him on my desk with the tasty treat before him. He gave me this adorable look...


and then forcibly shot urine all over my desk.


He's in bed now. Jerk.

But he's SOOOO GORGEOUS you couldn't possibly be mad at him...

You're right, I wasn't, but I sure would have preferred taking adorable pictures of him trying new noms rather than wiping urine off of my desk and keyboard.
Maybe next time!

He really is exceptionally handsome! I love his colors!
