Thanks! it was actually my boyfriend, he got a new camera and wanted something to take photos of so he went to talk to Peggy :)

He's a Tunisian. I know he's starting to show tortoise aggression, but he only "plays" with the yellow ball, doesn't like the other ones. It's good exercise in any case. And yes I'm aware, he doesn't roam the house. We vacuum the room thoroughly, close all the doors and there's no one in the...

Pegasus is really starting to get why I leave balls out when I get him out for a stomp! Anyone else's tort like to play ball??

The coconut oil is nice, it's solid at room temperature too so it's less messy to store than olive oil would be I guess! I usually give Peggy his warm bath, then when he gets grumpy and does everything he can to climb out, I pick him out, dab him dry with a flannel or kitchen towel, and then...

Also the doccumentation on Tunisians is a bit thin on the ground and I like to get this stuff out there.

I felt it might be nice for new people to see photographic evidence that this works!! :)

And Peggy with his pet spider plant, which he can have with coco-coir substrate, wouldn't have been possible with beech chips!

Scute close ups, where you can see the big change in growth angles really well.
