I was just wondering if anyones tortoise or tortoises has a color that they are more partial too. My leopard tortoise snowball like the color white. Whenever he sees something white he has to go look at it and try to eat it lol.

I haven't noticed a color Boulder likes, however he really doesn't like when my nails are painted purple. It seems to freak him out, weird, I know :D

Indy likes yellow. He'll zoom toward anything yellow and try to bite it, regardless of whether or not its edible.

I use to have a desert tort who really liked red. I made the mistake of wearing flipflops in his pen once while wearing red toenail polish. Never made that mistake again. ;)

My sully seems to be attracted to purple. It tries to eat my purple-colored nails all the time!

Tortoises see in full color, but a lot of their favorite foods are white, yellow, orange, red, and purple.

If yours really goes after white.. put a cuttle bone in with him. He might need calcium..
