I have really grown to love my tortoise and couldn't imagine my life without him!

That's really nice. However, that needed a pic of your tort.

...sorry, send message on accident. Anyways, I spend as much with him as possible and enjoy every minute of rearranging his home and walking around with him outside. I pay close attention to his diet and monitor his growth. It's fascinating to watch him and nurture him as he grows. He's certainly gained an affection for me; if I'm making his meal next to his table he'll come out of his basking position (all of which are so cute) and will pace around where I put his food. He also will walk all around my legs when I'm sitting in the yard watching him graze or nestle up under them. But I've been looking in the gender a little more since his anal scutes have been looking more than that of a female and a male. Francis maybe?








3rd pool size. He's been loving soaking and splashing in the pool, under a heat lamp for long periods of time. He'll also drag diet in to make a mud pit




My husband painted this for me for my birthday




Chillin in his hide




In his travel cage during a move.




Awesome facial expression!




Hope you all enjoy the pics!

I can't view your pics. Maybe repost them or maybe it is on my end.

Great post, but your pics didn't show up. What does he weigh now?

For some reason I can't load pics on my phone

 

[Linzbragg]

sorry!i'm posting them again from my computer

also, Tom, he's 3lbs 6oz. I'm sure I'll have to wait a little longer to know gender for sure, but it sure looks like the angle the scutes are growing at resemble that of a female
