thank you! They are super fun to watch, I love watching them climb. They said that they’re more of a shy type but from my personal experience they’ve been super friendly. The reason why I like them is because they’re the only true species that live in colony, and when someone gets 1 tortoise, it’s hard to just only have one. That’s why I got pancakes in the first place, I know most tortoise can’t be housed together but Pancake in the other hand? I could start my own little colony !
