Your replies are hilarious! I love this!
I think my fb friends are about sick of seeing pictures of my boxie. I post as many pictures of her as I do my 3 kids. She's just so pretty!! At least here I can post a picture of her digging with her butt sticking up in the air, call it "cute" and people not think I'm insane.

I relate. I have an album just for my pets and I guarantee I've been blocked by a few by now!

When at the end of a stressful day all you want to do is sit outside with your tortoise.

You are rearranging and eliminating furniture in the family room to make room for your new custom made tort enclosures.

Hahaha....me too. A baby book for your torts? That's my favourite one so far!

When you go from 2 torts to 7 torts in the course of a summer.

Too funny! I just got rid of a desk and took the leaf out if my dining room table to make room for the new enclosure I insisted we needed to build. Its so nice to see I am not the only one who does this silly stuff for the love of my torts. Lol

When you read a post, titled " You know you have been bitten by the tortoise bug" and crack up at each posting, as you relate to everything!
I am guilty of all of the above.
J.D.'s reality is like a fantasy to some of us.


And I will add....... When you are stopping at various stores looking for cactus fruit.
When you suddenly see a use for all kinds of containers. Water bowls, substrate containers, soil containers, various food containers.
Rubbermaid tubs are calling you.
You dream about plexiglass.
You LOVE going to Home Depot to look at Bricks, pavers, shade cloth, wood, anything that can give ideas on spending more money on enclosures.

I laughed so hard at this!!

I seriously can't enough of these. They're all so relatable. Great thread TommyZ!!

When you check on your tortoises more than you check on your toddler and new born...

When you get excited weeds are grown in your yard

When you're away from home and you pull out your phone just to look at a picture of your torts because you miss them

When riding in the car I see rocks in empty lots and I say to my husband "that rock would look great in the tortoise yard".

My husband does the grocery shopping because I hate to, however, I will go to the grocery store to buy greens for my tortoises.

When in the car I see different weeds and plants and think "that would be good food for my tortoises."

When the neigbors bring me a bag of weeds from their yard and I get more excited than if they brought me a cake or pie.

When I get more excited ordering tortoise supplies than buying something for myself.

When you spend $40 and half an afternoon installing a dripper system for your newly bought weeds.
