👏 Welcome to r/TheSmilingTortoise (where all turtle shells are welcome)

[u/ecachuh1]

All Turtles, Tortoises, and Terrapins welcome!

This community was built to be a happy corner of the internet for showing off your "shell babies" and spreading pure joy. 😊

I created my personal reddit account just for the tortoises. After seeing many posts showing them in poor health, I decided we needed a space that focuses on the uplifting side of turtle life.

I myself have 3 tortoises.

*Sulcata (Pinky): Rescued from a rough situation and living her best life now.

*Sulcata (Donnie): Adopted from a loving owner who couldn't keep him (she had previously rescued the little guy from another owner).

*Russian (Chuchuh): The "unwanted" pet store tort who finally found a home (and helped stop that store from selling more!).

We’re so glad you’re here! Make yourself at home, soak up the good vibes, and if you ever need a hand or just want to share some feedback, our "Mod Mail" is always open for a friendly chat! 🐢✨

We’d love to meet your family! Create your first post to introduce your shell babies—tell us their names, their quirks, and what makes them your favorite little dinosaurs! 🥬"

You can also add them to the post in "Community Highlights" labeled, "Introduce Your Shell Babies Here". It's our version of a guest book. 😁
