My tortoise seems like he hates me enough as it is, I could only imagine the grimace I would get if I dressed him up....

I think they are great; I wanted to use it to help "track him; I have had 2 (Shark fin and Stegosaurus). just a heads up for any other marginated owners; due to the shape of the shell Gamera will escape it in 2 minutes. SO he gets hats... lol my wife has hats for him... no wonder he punishes me

Do you approve of sweaters / turtle toppers for your tortoise? Why or why not?


Personally, I love them. Jasper has several for every occasion and he quite likes them. I don’t ever keep them on for more than 20 minutes at a time, and only use them a few times a month, but they’re cute and he seems to like them. I’m interested to see what everyone else thinks

These are just a few of Jasper’s that I got on Etsy :)
Oh my gosh how adorable! I don't find anything wrong with them for a photo session. If people can dress up their dogs and dye their fur funky colors, then why not put a sweater on a tortoise? :)

It's fun for sure as long as it's just for a "photoshoot"...leave it on too long and the tortoise may start to think he is "somebody" - lol!!!

I would only do it to take a couple of photos. Suppose it irritated the tort? That's the last hing I'd want to do.

But on the other hand the pics are great. Thanks a lot for posting.

The only irritation it can cause is the tort not liking me putting it on since it touches only the shell. But you're right, I have not used it since taking photos and it will never stay on long.
