Nice. Cutie tort. What is the red around the bottom of the top scute?
Is taco a chaco by chance? She looks like one.
I love seeing all these chacos recently. Good to know the numbers are up in the population of keppers

Welcome back Stephanie!
Taco is looking good! Looks like almost all of the paint is gone now.

Is Taco on youtube? I feel like I've watched a youtube video with a tortoise named Taco in it.
Hello Stephanie. So nice to see you again. We've missed you!
Taco is a Chaco tortoise from Argentina. She still has remnants of old fingernail polish I put on her 3 years ago so I could find her in the foliage of our back yard. She is six years old now, and is my garden tortie. I let her roam the securely fenced front garden during the day, and take her out for walks along the greenbelt (she wanders, I follow) and down by the creek. At night she sleeps in a half crate in our fenced back garden while the weather is still warm (>60 degrees at night). Once fall begins, I will return her to her heated tortoise house in the basement.
She has been eating better and actually growing a little larger and heavier this summer. Everyone thinks she is so cool, and want to learn about her and tortoises in general whenever they see her out and about. I keep a pretty close eye on her, but do enjoy teaching people about tortoises and cautioning them on the high-maintenance needs of these critturs. I explain that her deformities are due to our ignorance and neglect in her early years.
She is still so dear to me and I am devoted to her daily care and routines.
It's nice to see so many familiar names in the posts and threads on this forum! Happy torting, everyone.

at least you turned it around, right?
Welcome Back!
I've often wondered whatever happened to you, Stephanie. Glad you've come back. Hope you stay!!
OK, now that I have your attention, I want to show a video and some more photos of my sweet tortie girl.
So here's the youtube link:

And I will attach the photos from today.

awesome video. Shes just like my Mrs.Piggy quite little walker/runner.
She is a doll and I love the name
Taco is a singularly superior reptile. She has style, savvy, and exceptional intellectual capacity (and no, I am NOT anthropomorphizing her!!!).
Right in front of me, she learned that she (indeed) cannot swim! And she has retained that lesson.
