You might be a TORTOISE MANIAC if you:

Spend more feeding your tortoise(s) than you do on yourself, LOL!

Stop on the highway and pick fresh weeds on the roadside!

Spend more time on TFO than any other website!

Have dreams about tortoises!

:shy: Go to the zoo and spend the entire day at the tortoise pen!

Save half of your salad from lunch for your tortoise!

OK, Add your thoughts to the list......

Count me in !

Your grocery list starts with the stuff your tortoise needs followed by things you need...

If you have hatchlings available, how do we get ahold of you? I have questions. Could you pm me and give me an email so we could talk

You pick weeds in your yard and are careful not to pull the root out.
You quit buying greens that are not good for tortioses.

kick dandelion wish balls everytime you pass em so as to make sure you can have a bigger supply....
pass peoples yards while driving thinking wow that would be a perfect spot for a tortoise yard...

Legit favorite pastime here. I stay slowing down and craning into the perfect back yards and always daydream of knocking and being like " you could make a homeless tortoise very happy; until you do so your yard is not being utilized to its fullest potential " So sick, tortoise obsession is unstoppable....

When you would prefer to watch your tortoises than TV!

When prefer to hang out with your tortoises than your friends!

When your husband brings home a ziplock bag full of dandelion wish balls on Valentine's Day and it excites greatly!!!!

If you fix up and clean your tortoise enclosure(s) more than you fix up and clean your own house.
If you find that you steer conversations towards your tortoises more often than you probably should.

Guilty of so many of these...

When you Spray Your Tortoises More Than JerseyShore SprayTans

 

[bubbles01]

When you think it's perfectly normal to talk to your tortoises.
When you start telling other non-tort owners about the cute things your torts did that day.
When TFO is your home page on your computer.

When you get a tortoise as a anniversary present.

... If you and your spouse fight about what to plant in the back yard, because you figure if you are gonna grow it and water it, your torts might as well be able to eat it.

... When you have large clutches of babies and don't want to sell ANY of them.

... When you actually PAY money for weed seeds!

... when you hang around the catering truck on the set after lunch and innocently ask, "what are you gonna do with that leftover spring mix?"

... When you get to know complete strangers on a first name basis solely because they happen to have a really lush hibiscus, mulberry or opuntia stand in their yard, that you generously offer to come by and occasionally trim for them... Free of charge of course!
