When you've just been shopping, but your teenage son moans that there's no food in the fridge. Closer inspection reveals a huge amount of greens, but little else :redface:

...What can we say? It's a sickness and non of use are sane enough to care! For some reason baby tortoises have out classed babby kittens in the "Awwww" factor. ;)

- Every piece of unwanted furniture could potentially be turned into a tortoise table!

- You constantly comb Craigslist for free or cheap materials to upgrade your outdoor enclosures.

- You can't wait for the day when your sulcata is large enough to put in the backyard permanently...so you won't have to mow the lawn as much!

- Your pets get more fruit and vegetables in their diet than you do (I know mine do!)

- You know more about creating humidity in a closed environment than anyone else you know.

- You know that pyramiding has nothing to do with those impressive structures in Egypt.

- Acronyms like RF, RT, DBT, and ABT, or terms like Cherry Head are commonplace in your everyday vocabulary.

Thats me!

You might be a TORTOISE MANIAC if you:


:) Spend more feeding your tortoise(s) than you do on yourself, LOL!

;) Stop on the highway and pick fresh weeds on the roadside!

:cool: Spend more time on TFO than any other website!

:p Have dreams about tortoises!

:shy: Go to the zoo and spend the entire day at the tortoise pen!

:rolleyes: Save half of your salad from lunch for your tortoise!

OK, Add your thoughts to the list......



That's me :D

When you find yourself scheming:
"I'll just go to the uppity part of town and admire lawns, asking nicely if they are pesticide free since I'm looking for a good all natural lawn care company...then I'll do a drive by at night and pick them bald!"

My friend suggested we do the first half yet ask to tend to their yard for some sort of charity, all the while leaving torts out to graze :p

When you go to nurseries and buy the plant that clearly has been forgotten...who is also tort approved...who also has a bunch of weeds in its pot!!!

You keep the house at a comfortable 85 degrees
Hahaha! This reminds me of when I had my ball pythons, my office was turned into their room/rat room, I kept the av vent shut and liked the ambient to be around 90, I'd sit at the computer sweating to death all in the name of healthy happy snakes.

If your youngest child is 9 years old and you stop to get diapers.

Lol

LMAO!!! I just busted out laughing and my family looked at me like I was nuts!! When I showed them what I was laughing at, they looked at me even stranger :D

I find myself trying to explain to the people passing by, why I'm walking around outside at 7am, in my pj's picking weeds :D

When your sat back here in the UK in a beer garden on the grass thinking to yourself, "I wish my torts where here with me, they'd love the weeds and dandelions I'm sat playing with" lol
