Tortoise Finder

I just purchased one of these last night and I can't wait to get it in the mail. So excited! My hubby thinks I'm nuts.



I found it on this site:http://www.etsy.com/shop/MossyTortoise

This would be especially useful on a leopard tortoise. They fade into their background so efficiently that it's really hard to find them.

I was thinking about something like that this morning hahaha

The owner of that shop is a forum member here! I got one too! The only problem I have is getting it on/off. It scares the pee out of Dante, literally, but I think he'll get over that

Way back when I joined the forum, I was asking for something to attach to my leopard, because of the exact reason you stated. When I first got him, I would freak out, thinking he was lost, even though I knew he couldn't get out. He blended in so well. Now he's big enough, I think, that he won't be able to hide as easy.

I love these, and I've been thinking about trying to make one. I suck at knitting but something to work towards!

Does anyone think it would interfere with the UV absorption though?

I am sure it would block some/most of it but it's knitted so it has little "holes". I would not suggest leaving it on for long periods...maybe just for fun.
