Hi
I have a herman who’s about 10 years old
When we let him wander about he’ll head for someone’s bare feet and after a good sniff, try to bite their toes
If you have socks or slippers on he’ll leave you alone
Is there a reason that he’s so fascinated with bare feet?
Cheers
Steve

Probably sees the toes wiggling like live food/bait. Socks on, no interest. Socks off - looks like something to eat.

Maybe he doesn't know he's a tortoise and he thinks your feet are competition in the area and wants to claim it as his own,and you are two funny looking fellows that need to move on,maybe.
