Haha.. Very true. So that is why I'm thinking to find a unisex name

What a good looking tortoise!!!!!

Very Beautiful and so round. I love the patterns on their shells it looks like they have exploded with a bunch of little "Starbursts". ;)Congratulations on your new Tort. And Welcome to the forum. I see you are still looking for a unisex name. My vote is Star or Starburst

Wow what a beautiful tort! There are not many others that can compare to that pretty shell!

Finally decided it's name

Name: SAM

So if it's a
boy = SAMuel
girl = SAMmy

Finally Sam is eating But still not moving I have to put the food in front of it. Lazy little tortoise...

She is doing fine now. Eating everyday but still very shy. Hardly want to move when there is people around. So in order to see her move, we have to stand very far

The little Sulcata I am fostering (for Dee) was shy I put her in the computer room and talk to her daily. Usually with my back to her. I can hear her move but when I looked she would stop. Its been almost 2 months now and she will move when I watch her and sit by her enclosure. Progress is often slow, but its still progress.

I think mine needs quite some time more from the look at it's progress. It won't move even when it is soaking or when I put it under the sun

The only time it will move when I'm around is feeding time. I have tried holding french beans and it came to me and it ate the whole bean After eating, it will stop moving again
