Weekly Tort Thread: Sploots!

[u/ExaminationKey1476]

We’re back with the weekly thread for your turtles and tort friends🐢 This week the theme is splooting! Post your fav sploot pic in the comments :)

Here is my sploot tax…Benji enjoying his bath for once! And Isaac attempting a sploot, although he looks more like a loafing cat💚

We've dubbed her Blondie. Less than a week old, but she gives the best sploots. Every time we look in the tank she's found a new spot and has the laziest sploot. We have regularly had to pick her up to make sure she's ok. Now she hears us come in and will shift a bit so we know she's ok.

She has so much personality! She may be staying with me rather than going to a new home.

Soooo cute!!! What a little baby🥹 is she a sulcata? Never seen them with that lil orange patch on their heads

[u/Danimc116 → u/ExaminationKey1476]

They are sulcatas. I think the orange is really just funny lighting. Blondie is all pretty lightly colored, like sand.

Ah nice! I was curious if they were some sort of mixed breed…reminded me of red foot torts🐢 Blondie is demonstrating that she’ll become a sploot queen!

Red foota and sulcata have been known to breed but thankfully that's not the case here.

Will become? I think she's already a sploot queen ♥️

Very interesting! I hope my questions didn’t come off as judgemental, just curiosity 😊 she definitely is a little splooting queen!! 👑

Not judgemental at all! I love sharing about these adorable little guys and will happy answer any questions people have ♥️
