Not at all! Honestly, I think he thought he was hidden in that picture since the front of his body was under hay. He's always been very ackward with his size. It's cure to see him finally use the dish on him own.
He spends over an hour some days deciding to get out of bed as I put it. His heat emitter is right over his typical burrow so I imagine he is basking a little. Tortoise yawns are adorable too.
It's great for Trevor as he had difficulty with all the other dishes I tried. He never used them as I think they weren't easy. Now I see him in there or signs he was in there almost every day, which is great. He can manage the steps really well. Bad things about the dish are the size, as that is the largest one they carry so bigger torts won't be able to have one. It was also over $25! He's worth it though. Good for hatchlings. You could probably get a smaller one for them but I figured this might last him awhile, maybe even be ok for his adult size although by then I'll need a replacement. Very sturdy too.
Kate, I loved Trevors photo shoot. Thanks for sharing them with us. What a little cutie face. I can't decide which pic I like best they are all so cute.
Terry-yes the xl. He's about 2.3 in. long so you can get an idea of the size. Actually not too big. He surprises me how chill he is in water sometimes. He loves when I put the warm water in there and he's still in his habitat, not his "bath tub" which scares him a little more.
