Got him a bigger clay pot!!
Any suggestions is welcome!!
Getting him a regular plastic tub hasn’t been a great idea either due to space!!
I’m going to make time to get his new house done this week! ??

I find it funny that my fiancé calls him “senior scratch Scratch” ??

I guess he might be in need in a lot more substrate then I anticipated but still..LOL amusing to hear him burring himself sometimes!! ??

Apparently he’s only coco when he’s cute and cuddly “according to my fiancé!” ??

He’s Mr grubs when he’s eating! ??

I can’t! My man is hysterical! ??

Wow seems like he liked the two dollar hide I bought him! That’s awesome news! ??

Tried to move him in his new upgraded enclosure..he was in a mood today!! ??
So we’ll revisit this transition later I guess!! ?52781392-3BAC-4788-9348-19AFD9A0734B.jpeg

“Senior Scratch Scratch”
Was definitely on his period today!! ??

Maybe he had a moment because I took his food away just for a moment and then realized “oh not again..changes “I’m not Cooperating mood” LOL

Has anybody experienced this before where you slowly try moving your tort to a bigger place but every time you even pet him “they hiss at you like a snake?” ?

Finally after much debating and deciding what to do, our beloved coco is in his bigger enclosure!! ??
More room for him to walk around!
Tried not changing his arrangements to much!
I’m going to let him settle!

Next is his chicken wire build up so we can also have UVB! ??

Hey guys...how’s everyone doing?

Anything new??
Always lots going on as spring slowly is waking nature up. I'm in the process of moving to Oklahoma so I can finally start looking for a tort & building an enclosure(s). Many turtles & torts have come out of brumation sucessfully. A few have not. New enclosures are always being reviewed. We've lost a few torts.

How's Coco? Photos, please!!

Awe oh no! I don’t like the sound of loosing tortoises!! They are such amazing animals!
Coco is doing fantastic..he’s enjoying his new enclosure! Nice and settled in!
Haven’t done much preparation for his chicken wire yet! I been so busy..but he’s been out a couple times so far for some sun! The weather here where I live been on drugs ?? one moment it’s 80-90 degrees and then all of her sudden it drops to 50-60 degrees again lol!!

as you can see he’s growing nicely! He’s definitely spoiled! ??

No,he isn't spoiled at all ! Spoiling him would be doing something that was bad for him, like feeding him chocolate cake -what you are doing is trying your very best to give him a happy healthy life, and constantly thinking of how to improve it for him - he is a very lucky tortoise to have you to look after him so well.

He's going to need more space very soon! He's getting big! ?
I know..I keep telling him please stop growing! ????

i litterly just bought him this bigger tub! I think this is as big as it gets because the others have less space due to the wheels!
At this point I’ll have to convert a bedroom too an enclosure ???

or at least custom make a tortoise log deep table for him!! Lol
