You know youve been bitten by the tortoise bug when...

[Moonlights]

When you find yourself outside on the neighbor's lawn cutting their weeds (me yesterday)

 

[Sulcata_Sandy]

You spend an entire day driving across the state to pick up a rescue, and you are so excited to get a 50 lb "buddy".

When you agree to a full day of loading dirt from the driveway into wheelbarrows and carrying them to the back of a friends house to help build NINE gardens, in trade for plants your tort can eat. My back is killing me!

When a teenager gets in trouble with parents, not for going out partying, but for spending too much on his torts and staying home to look after them.

Damn crazy kids...


1 Russian tortoise -Rocky
3 dogs (jealous of the attention)

When you think THIS is appropriate tortoise behavior.....

Your giving consideration to moving countries, so you can reside in a state where your tort will have a year-around outdoor enclosure.

 

[Sulcata_Sandy]

Lisa says I'm crazy.....so we've met?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yah, I definitely swing on a different rope. I used to be frustrated, but now I'm in my 40's and pretty comfortable in my own skin.

When half of your 1st floor is a tortoise enclosure.
When you go the zoo and pick their weeds instead of looking at the animals.
When you get tired of explaining the difference between a turtle and tortoise and saying I have tortoises NOT turtles -

 

[luvpetz27]

When on your bucket list of places to visit, you replace Monaco with JDs Tortoise Cove...

SO FUNNY!!
I LOVE IT!!!

Re: RE: You know youve been bitten by the tortoise bug when...

These posts are hilarious! Literally laughing out loud. Does anyone else have a baby book for their torts?

Not yet, but glad I saw this before my baby arrived! Totally doing this.

You join the tortoise forum because your boyfriend says "Can we please not talk about tortoises today?"

I was getting that. Joined forum. Now I get "Can you puh-leeeeeease stop tortoise-ing and come spend time with ME?" Silly men.

I guess I've been bit by the bug. "Tortoise-ing" is a verb in our household. XD
