A friend saw this in a home goods store and got it for me for Christmas. As she was checking out, the cashier told her it was the ugliest thing she'd ever seen. LOL

Oh, I like it too. My friend was relieved. I think the cashier put doubt in her mind...

I think I will make it my tort tray holding all my tort stuff next to their enclosures.

Just in need of a good paint job, is all :D

It has a kind of faux finish. But it definitely needs to be green. I am thinking it is supposed to be a sea turtle.
But it could pass for the Loch Ness monster as well, for all those Nessie lovers. lol

What I like the most about it is I have not saw one like it before, plus it was from a friend. I think it's pretty neat myself.

With a steady hand, paint it to look like a pancake tortoise. Maybe I'm a little biased, but it's flat, and pancakes are kind of rectangular.
