I just love those tortoises. I'm not a big fan of the sulcata, but there are a few here on the forum that I can't get enough of "looking." Your light ones, Dean, are in that group.

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

But aww!! Such a cute expression Love this pic!

"Okay guys, this is what we have to do...we all line up here and lay real cute and stare at this corner....the five toes will notice how cute we are, they will take our pics and then come back after awhile and notice us still here....they are a curious sort, they will lay down on the ground to look in the corner to see what we are looking at and BAM they will pull those little chunks of heaven out of this damn crack and we will score a munchie...patience young ones, patience"


, that's all I heard in this ole peanut of mine....I don't make the rules in there, only try to survive them....lol

Thanks Angela...that capped the day perfectly!

Man! They are looking fantastic Dean. All three of them are sporting absolutely gorgeous carapaces.

Pull your temp gun out and temp that spot and their carapaces for us would ya? I bet its at least mid-70's in that corner in the sun, even on a 50 degree day.

I wish I woulda thought of that yesterday! But I did pick up Eggroll and she was toasty...if I had to guess, I'd say upper 90s...she was actually warmer than my skin

 

[DeanS]

OK! Just did a temp reading off all the torts' carapaces...and YES! They're all sunning themselves in the same corner.

Aladar...91
Climber...93
Eggroll...91
Snowflake...89
Jamie...94

...and the mercury reads 56 right now!
