lol Now you can't tell me that's not a happy tortoise. Like I said before, I think they are intelligent enough to understand and enjoy interaction with their owners.

Waahooo! I love when I have people on my side of the fence on this topic! :) Thanks so much!! :D And you already know I agree with what you just posted.

Well he does look like a very comfy tort. I have one redfoot that will climb up in my lap if I sit in the grass. He sure seems to be ok with what you are doing

Trust me, if I thought he was stressed out or anything I would never do the things I do. But as long as he is as content as you all seen it that picture, the only time things will change is when I can no longer lift him! :D

That's already true. I end up moving him and he will just go right back to sleep unless I put him in his viv. As long as he gets to stay on the bed he will sleep until he gets hungry..

Nope! He only poops in the bath! He even stoped poop'n in his viv. Poor Ophelia poops and pees everywhere. She don't get much people time, but as soon as it warms up she will get more time with us outside. She was abused by some kids I believe, but she has got A LOT bettter since we got her. My poor girl... :( So glad I got Cooper as a baby!! :)

How often do they deficate? I just got a 20-35 yr old RF, I think it's a he. I saw him poop in the tub this morning and he peed right after I took him out. I want to let him explore because from what I have been told, he stayed in something the size of a small litterbox most of his winter months. I just don't know what to expect in terms of a mess. He doesn't go when I pick him up and the supervised time I have let him out he hasn't. I hear they only really like to go when they are in the tub. He is very curious and very friendly.

Well Cooper goes poo everyother day, like clock work, in the bath. Now pee is another thing. If my wife holds him up in the air for to long, out comes the pee. Or if he is try'n to eat supper faster then a starved dog, he has to pee to hurry and make room for the food... I guess?? But he always pee's in the bath also. Silly tort! :p

Well these are 3 new pictures of Cooper SLEEPING IN MY BED.
He got his big dinner, then beat the side of his glass until I got him out and put him in bed with Dad, the food god, the man that baths me even when I hate it, or whatever else name Cooper has for me! :p

Just some new pictures of Cooper sleeping with me last night that the wife took cause we were both sleeping, she said "it was so cute". He is such a spoiled boy! His latest measurement was 8 inch's of just his shell, measured straight across.

You must've taken these right after his bubble bath, because Cooper is the cleanest tortoise I've ever seen. He's a real mutant, I think you'll have to invest in a crane soon!
