What a cutie! Thank you for sharing ?

me too! I have way too many feet pictures of this guy.

Thank you! I’m so glad all is well, he has been such a joy for us ?

Hi everyone! I was noticing recently that Pickle has an indent at the top of one of his back scutes, it’s always been there but looks more pronounced to me. He is housed/fed/cared for according to Tom’s care sheet. I know they have a sloped back when they are older but if it looks like something...

My little guy digs ditches too! I would get home from work and the substrate would be all dug up so I would always pat it all down again. I thought my son was doing it, then I was watching him on my tortie cam one day and saw him hard at work digging the ditch that leads into his hide so I had...

2 months and 68 grams gained since coming home! Pickle is now at 107

Happy Halloween!

Very cool! I’m hopeful Pickle will be this big someday, for now I’ll cherish his tiny-ness and the fact that my patio furniture is all intact.

This is very entertaining! I’m looking forward to more pictures ?

We’ll need a bigger bath tub soon ?. Pickle is up to 82 grams.

A few more pictures while he’s still little, gotta start planning his outdoor digs already!

The tortie “splits”

Day one soak and cardio vs day 24

Hi everyone! I’m starting this thread for Pickle to share pictures and such. I am a huge fan of all things tortie, especially this one ?. He came home on Sept 9th, 39 grams right out of the box and today he is 65 grams after his warm soak and impressive bowel movement. He’s kind of a chicken and...

I’ve been reading posts and finding answers on this forum for about 6 months but haven’t posted or introduced myself yet. I had a heartbreaking experience getting my first baby sulcata from a pet store and he was badly started. I now have a happy, healthy little guy that I found here ?. Pickle...
