Sometimes tortoise breeding is a hilarious business.

But then other times it is also a very serious affair.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how unacceptable would it be for me to send this photo in for my provisional driving licence?

Stupid things i’ve heard this month: Tortoise edition.

I was sat on the park with my tortoises who were having a good run round. 

“Woah! Is that a wild tortoise!” - I live in britain. Not exactly famous for its chelonian wildlife. 

“Do tortoises have ever take off their shell?” 

“Woah, is that a snake?! Hannah, that lady has a snake over there!”

“Did you just catch them?!”

“I didn’t think tortoises were still kept by anyone!”

“If you drop them do their shells shatter like glass?”

The guys got introduced to the newly finished enclosure today. Both of them took the opportunity to trash the entire thing, like any self respecting tortoise should do. :) Phoebe instantly went to sit on top of the hide and wouldn’t let George up. George retaliated by going and sitting on top of a plant. My tortoises are idiots.

Filed down his beak a with an emory board today a little. it gets in the way of him eating with it being overgrown. He actually seemed to enjoy it - he loves chin rubs so i assume beak rubs are no different!

In the process of scienceing together some bookshelves to make an XL tortoise table and had a little helper read the flat pack furniture instructions.
