A Dane Update!

[Dane]

Hi Guys! It's been forever since I've posted on these forums. Dane is doing well! He spent May-September in a large outdoor enclosure pretty much 24/7 unless it was raining hard or hailing (or cold). He grew so much! Last month we celebrated his one year with us. He even had is own tortoise cake!

Just for a reminder, this is Dane when we first got him back on January 6, 2010:

Here is Dane back in November 2010, his last day on "his hill" in the park. Two days later is snowed:

And his favorite, DANDELIONS:

Here he is blowing out his candles at his party, January 2011:

And here are some shots of him today:

Thanks for looking!

I love the cake, and he looks great. In the last picture he looks like he's looking for trouble.

I didn't know tortoises could blow out candles.

So cute! I just love his green mouth! He has gotten much bigger!

Handsome boy! And the cake looks as though it was very tasty!

Also, I'm glad my torts aren't the only ones with embarrassing 'green mouth'.
