Bring tortoises inside during eclipse?

[TheWarTortoise]

Title explains itself. Will my tortoises want to look at the sun? I live in PA, and the eclipse starts soon, would appreciate an answer.

Hmmm, I don't think so. After all when they are in the wild, they won't be running into a house.

Nah. I really doubt the sun is going to be of interest to a tortoise.

I'm sure it won't do any harm to them.
But bringing them inside wouldn't hurt if it gives you peace of mind.

Mine are all outside. They don't seem to care at all. No different than a little cloud cover to them.

If your tortoise didn't look at it, this is what it missed! This is an iphone shot of the viewfinder of a friends camera during totality. Photo creds to Elliot Severn!

We didn't get anywhere near that much coverage at my house. Great photo!
