Hi, today when I went out to see my desert tort he was laying outside his burrow with his hole with his head limp on the floor with his eyes closed. Thinking he was dead I went over to look at him and he stood right up as if nothing happened. Is he ok? Was he just sleeping or basking in the sun or could something worse be going on?
Thank you,
Kyle

Morla scared me one night when she was chillin' in her blanket on my chest. She pulled herself out just a few inches, dropped her head into the nook of my upper arm/armpit, closed her eyes, and didn't move. She'd never done that bf (and it is still very rare--she likes to have her head burrowed usually) but it was really really cute.

Have I mentioned how much I love her? ?

I'm like a new mother...Eric wants to kill me sometimes!

"She didn't poop today!"
"She is more lethargic this AM."
"Was that a sneeze I heard?"
"Does her left eye look red to you?"
Etc. Etc. Etc.

One thing that was super cute (not worrisome)... the other day after tubing her for her hydration, I was giving her a couple pats, and she burped! It was cute little "erp!"
