I work at my local reptile shop, I specialize in animal care and customer service.(but admittedly id rather hang out with the animals )

Anyways, whenever i get a chance i snap a few pictures or a quick video of the animals.

In these cases tortoises

So to start, heres MY redfoot girl, CHERRYBOMB, with her brocoli face

And heres Brutus(lighter, female, 9yrs), and Shelly(darker, male, 6 yrs). The sulcata team! They are both rescues and are doing GREAT! We use them for our informational presentations

And finally, the tortoise(Shelly) and the Hare(foo-foo)

And of course a few videos for ya

So you didn't change her name to Brutilla or Brutina?

Great videos and photos. I remember Cherrybomb and her severe shell deformity. I hope she is doing well and eating and pooping for you.

haha the tortoise and the hare, that is classic. made me smile. does shelly chase foo foo? we were keeping a cat for my cousin for a few days a while back and my greek tort tula would bolt out of her humid hide under the pool table and go for the cat as fast as her little tortoise legs could take her. she did NOT like the cat. i think it was probably a good thing the cat was quicker. i've never seen tula move so fast, even when i've got some opuntia!

That's a funny story.

There was a video on the forum back in August of a tortoise chasing a cat around the yard...it was very persistent and the cat was clearly intimidated...you just never know, I guess.
