Hi, and welcome to the Forum! The more you interact with your tortoise, the more personable he becomes.

Hi and welcome . Speedy also loves it when you rub his head while he is soaking !

My sister, Maggie3fan, had a large (over 100lbs) sulcata, and once he got big enough to handle the stress of trips, she started taking him with her when she went places. He went to the pet store, visited Santa, was at a couple of street fairs and the open house at the vet office. Her tortoise, Bob, seemed to enjoy these trips, and was very interactive with the people and animals he encountered. Maggie put up pictures of his trip to the vet's open house, and it showed a terrier taking a ride on Bob's back, with Bob just walking around and not paying any attention to the dog.

Sadly, Bob recently passed away after having surgery to remove a very large bladder stone.

Awww man...I love hearing Bob stories. I think Bob left a little hole in the tortoise forum heart!
