@Clunk, she loves it. One of her soaks was too nasty to show. Boris is also 4. He can take about 10 min then he wants out! Will post Boris later.You are so lucky. I see with her hind legs stretched out that she's really enjoying her soak. My Clunk still hates his soaks, clambering wildly in his tub trying to get out. It's the only way to get out the dried gunk from under his shell so he's gonna have to deal with it.
Decided to bring Phteven outside today singe could get some fresh air and exercise. He's loving it. Normally he hides in his shell and hisses at us but not today! He soaked (reluctantly) then was brought out and is loving every minute of it.
He hisses at you? My Clunk has never exhibited any aggressive behavior towards me.
Hissing isn't aggression. When tortoises get startled and quickly retract their heads into their shell, they push air out and it sounds like a "hiss". It's more of a sound of surprise than anything else.
Poor baby, sounds like he's just scared. Mine do that at times when i approach their face too fast. It always makes me feel so guiltyHe doesn't try to bite. It is the result of him pulling his head in really fast. He has done it since day one and continues to do so.
Luckily, Phteven has been a little more social the past few days, which makes us all happy. He's resting now after his day out and getting a little too warm.My tortoise gets startled if I blink. She's a little hyper-anxiety. I've always been gentle to her, but she still sucks her head in and makes that "hiss" noise. Some torts are just made that way.
