This isn’t a super serious topic, just something I’ve found pretty interesting and kind of cute.

I’ve had my baby Terry for a few days now, and a few times it’s given me a scare. Often I would look into the enclosure to see it sprawled open legged and head on the ground, still and limp. I would panic and watch for any sign of movement, none was recognizable. So the first time I didn’t know what was happening or what to do, I was scared Terry had died and I began quickly blaming myself and all that. I pick the lil guy up... and it shoots inside it’s shell and gives me the dirtiest look I think a tortoise could possible give. Terry was just sleeping, and I guess a tortoise has to be comfy, sprawled out seems like it’s way to go [emoji23]

The same thing happened to me with my Redfoot tortoise, Lyric. I initially freaked out and started yelling. He looked up got up and went into his hide. My neighbor (who is very experienced with tortoises) laughed and told me that he was just sunning himself.
