I have a general question about my beautiful Russian Tortoise Shellington. I am new to tortoises so forgive me if this is a stupid question (also, check out how sweet he is!)
Shellington has a strong neck when upright. He extends a ton and eats daily, etc... However, he likes to sunbathe (I'm assuming that's what it is With his neck limp in his enclosure... like all the way out and on the floor. Scares the poop out of me.. then I talk to him and he lifts it and walks over.
When Shellington is on his back (I weighed him this way once) his neck goes limp down and he can't lift it (when upside down). Is this normal?
Thanks
Val
