You know that you are a tortoise maniac when you go to a pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin for your tortoise to eat.

Or like me, you pass them all because you're not sure which pumpkin would be just right for them and you don't want to waste one if they won't “like" it!

Somebody likely posted this already, but oh well.

Tortoise maniac - getting filled with prickly pear spines just to give your tort a lovely bit of fruit.

1-When you sneak away and hide at family outings/events to check TFO for new threads.
1a And you apologize when caught and promise to not doing it again!!
2-When you set alarm thru the night to go off to verify outdoor tort house stays the right temp during a cold snap.
3. When all your crisper drawers in the fridge are full of tort greens that you forbid family from touching.

When you go down to the county courthouse a week AHEAD of the presidential election and vote early because you have a new tort arriving on Election Day and you want to be home when it arrives!

You might be a tortoise maniac if you soak your baby tortoises before you even start the coffee in the morning.

I read in a Russian tortoise book recently that you SHOULDN'T do that because the weeds inhale gasoline and motor oil and smoke from all the cars. Therefor the plants are poisonous. Makes sense to me. Any thoughts?

Today I got a BIG O'LL giant weed for my tortoise's and brought it up to my room and set it on my table, I accidentally took a deep breath of all of them and momentarily stopped breathing from all the pollen from the weeds. I forgot how allergic I am to weeds! *Shame on yourself TB, almost killing yourself for some weeds* :p I guess that makes me a tortoise miniac for almost accidentally killing myself for some weeds for my tort's :p :tort: :shy:
