That is a brilliant, calendar-worthy, photo! I love it
I took a similar one of Joe a few years ago; yours is better. He’d been inside for the night and I put him under the lamp to warm up before putting him back in the garden.
That is too funny. I’ve seen plenty of tortoises taking naps/sleeping. Every time I see it I think to myself... a wild tortoise would surely never do this. It would not survive.... I mean they have laid themselves out as a meal... That first photo takes the cake- it is the best “nap” photo of a tortoise I’ve seen. He is all out!
Haha! I almost titled the post something like "I shouldn't have had that last cocktail". Tortoise hang over was my thought too. I certainly have felt like that after a few too many.
