I miss my tortoise while she is sleeping....so I make art. This one was inspired by her...Even though it's a water bound creature, all sea and land turtles tend to remind me of my Patsy!

Yep, will do on the prep. Thanks! She does enjoy her soaks. Her eyes are the only real gateway to let me know when she's enjoying something. ;)

Ciri! I very much appreciate that you took the time to respond and help me with your take on all this- I'm going to stick with what has worked. Your links are great. As this was my first posting I am so happily encouraged by the feedback I received from just today. I feel like I've entered...

Hey! So I thought it's about time I start learning from other experienced tortoise handlers regarding our little being that I have loved and has been loved for three generations. Patsy the desert tortoise was adopted full grown so we figure she was between 12-20yrs at least when we got her. So...
