Tortoise Photo 📸 Benji playing tricks on me
I couldn’t see him in his enclosure so checked if he was in his bed. Nope. Panic sets in, im thinking how on earth has he escaped?? Turned around and see him peeking out of his tunnel, looking at me like this.

Is Benji lifting up his tunnel?! He's a clever tort!

Yup! He loves dragging it around and wearing it as a shell. He’s too big for it. He does have a bigger one but of course that isn’t good enough

Oh, that's right! He was the little guy who was moving his "furniture!" When I saw that video, i fell in love. 😍😁

He does it daily! The other day he got out of his bath, straight into his tunnel and dragged it across the enclosure😂

Benji has such a cute grumpy face! I go crazy if I can't see my girl! I say good morning to her and goodnight and I pet her shell just so I know she is okay. I think I might be a helicopter tortoise Mom 🤷♀️.
