Hello, and welcome to the Cold Dark Room.
Grab an armadillo to sit on and beware the Wool Web Spider (if it actually exists).
I'll fetch you a beverage of choice, or send the One-Legged Pirate to do so and bring some custard creams.
Yep, a year and a half, busiest and silliest thread on the forum. :)
How are you and your sulcata?
Hope Victor's fully recovered from his illness and Baytril jabs.

Impressive.
Victor is doing great, he's grown quite a bit since last year and is still the same old grumpy, greedy tortoise:)

Lola sat for a while watching youtube videos of other torts the other day until he got bored and wandered off.
Was trying to see if torts will watch videos in the same way they have discovered bearded dragons do.
They put them in a cage with food outside it and it was only when they watched a video of another BD sliding open the gate that they learned to do the same - can't remember the name of the prog.
Evening, Lyn!
How interesting, must try and find that, i always thought they couldn't see TV pictures.

I have a shopping bag which has a picture of long grass with a blue sky on it and when I first brought Lola home it was on the floor and he spent ages battering the side of it, took me a while to realise he was probably trying to get into the grass.

Tidgy looks at the telly quite often, but what she actually sees, I don't know.
She loves the Doctor Who theme and all the swirling opening time tunnel sequence.

Yes, i heard about several tests done on cold reptiles.
Silly scientists.
Its only taken about 50 years for the scientists to work out that the torts need heat to function.
However the torts concluded that the scientists aren't the brightest buttons in the box when it comes to animal intelligence.

Lola also reacts to his reflection in the side of the fridge etc (not just clear mirrors) and his shadow, so they must see something.
