Yep! I now have not one, but two 4ftx2ft enclosures...in my living room!
You need a wolf-hybird, to patrol your yard. He will get rid of your voles real quick!

When you don't have a will but you have a verbal promise from your nieces to take care of your tortoise after you kick the bucket.
When your back yard is full of tortoise and turtle pens.... and the remaining areas are vegetable patches for them. ?
When your local grocery thinks you feed your (human) children an awful lot of organic greens!

You have yet another bowl on your kitchen counter to collect snacks during meal preps... one for worm bin, one for rabbits, one for chickens, and now one for tortoise!

My five year old is begging us to put in our will that SHE gets to care for the tortoise when he outlives us!

Of course I landscape the backyard to suit my boy Tank. I have a camera in his "building" to watch out for him. I installed locks on my gate to keep intruders OUT! And during Hurricane Harvey, I did not sleep for almost 3 days while the 45 inches of rain came down so I could evacuate Tank if the water came up to the house. I live by myself so I was afraid to sleep for fear of flash flooding and the bayou down the street coming over it's banks as it was FULL!! That was the scariest 3 days of my life!!!!!
When the only company you have are here only to see the Sully.
When you have to pay a plumber to unclog your bathtub drain because it's clogged with Tort Poo.

You’re known to the neighborhood as the crazy lady who forages weeds everywhere.
Your family gets tired of me shouting “prickly pear cactus!” every time we drive by one.

When you dream of building a bigger indoor enclosure and think, "do we really need a couch and coffee table?"
When you tell your wife that what you really want for Christmas is a laser temp gun. And 20 pounds of bark.
When you have family conversations about ultraviolet light and the thermodynamics of heat spreading out from a lamp.
