When you buy plants at the nursery with chewed up leaves and big holes so you know it's pesticide free!

Im guilty of 98% of these posts. I also do these...

When u hear the slightest noise from the other side of the house so you rush over to your tort room to make sure he hasn't flipped over and he is just sitting on his basking spot looking at you like your crazy.

When you walk into the tort room and start laughing histarically over the look he's giving you.

When you love em so much that you openly admit that your not ashamed to be a tort maniac. <3

- When your wife is complaining that your tortoises eat better than her.
- Your window sills are full of cactus pots.
- You laugh when your backyard is full of weeds.
- You grow your own dandelion indoor

When you see a thread in another forum for easter baskets shaped like tortoises and then you decide maybe you should make an easter basket for your tortoise... even though you don't celebrate easter... :)

These just keep getting better and better!

Although I will say: those of you whose families are complaining of not eating well enough, I suggest you make your human wards your priority. :p

When you download the tfo app the first night you get your account so you can constantly check it every ten or so seconds

When you get made fun of at work for constantly looking for stuff for your tort

When you tell a friend "You should have a tortoise, you have great weeds"

BTW GTT if the humans ate more like the torts they would be healthier...just saying :)

YES!

Quite so. I think we eat more greens around here when the torts aren't hibernating! Of course, we need more than that, too. It takes more than Ramen Noodle and a couple of pills for a human to get adequate nutrition. Plus, being mammals and bigger than our tortoises, we need more food than they do as well. :)

When you dream about finding that humidifier you knew was packed in the garage. Now I need to actually look for it to see if my dream was accurate.

When you want to get home early from vacation to see your tort!

When your driving and see a yard that you think may have a tort.

Or you see houses and say to yourself "I could put an enclosure right there"

I love reading these. Most are so true for me.

When you plant dandelion indoors so you can grow food.
When you watch doomsday preppers and realize that you have to figure out how to find food for your tortoise during the winter if a disaster happens.

when you have your husband doing drawings of new hides and a loft for your tortoise so she can have a more interesting cage
