Hello
I'm new to the Forum and here is my tortoise Bob the Elongata. He was inherited from a friend who moved back from Shanghai to the US, she bought him at a wet market (she probably saved him from certain turtle soup!).
We've had him for a year and a half, and love him. Our 25th floor flat is not the best environment, but he hates to be enclosed in anyway (climbs the walls and turns himself over) so any kind of tortoise-table is a no-no Probably was caught in the wild. So it's impossible to keep him in the humid environment he should be in and so his skin is too dry (often bathe him instead).
He loves to climb and will try to climb anything, especially the skirting boards. Also tries to seek out the darkest environment possible.
He's just this week woken up from looooonng hibernation and has just face-planted in a plate full of greens and tomatoes
Funny creature...
Anyway, just wanted to say Hi to everyone, and happy spring!
