When I first got Tanker I named him Tanker cuz he looks like a tank. but now that I know him well I feel like the name Snuffleupagus fits him better...any ideas on switching his name?

It's entirely up to you... but the new name suggested is a bit of a mouthful if you have to go to the vet... or want to call him/her in the garden ;)

You name your tortoise to feel good when we talk to our critters...so name away and if you have to change something at the vets....no big deal...most things in life are subject to change.....:p

The tortoise does not care what you call him, so the only person/animal you need to please is yourself. Call him what feels right to you.

What wrong with having two names? Lots of people and pets have a name and a nickname. It would make things easier at the vet.

My schnauzer is named Oscar. His nicknames include, ozzie, biscuit, gremlin, and schnozzle.
My lab is named Sierra. Her nicknames include cici, boo, monkey head, and paw chew.
My tortoise is named Betty Boop. Her nicknames include bettuce, crazy face, and boo torty.

I don't think any of my animals care what I call them as long as they got food in their belly's. :D
