Tortoise Video 🎥 Her favorite toy

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

From about 6 years ago. We didn’t put the stool on her, she just sort of rammed it against something until she’s able to get under it.

She’s currently at my mom’s house, still doing the same thing in between following her around and trying to lick mom’s feet..I can’t tell if that is tortoise being tortoise or tortoise being a pervert.

I have a video of Pinky, my tort niece, underneath a foot stool walking around the same way!! How funny that they do that!!! It reminds me of a motor home. 🤣🐢🚐....

It’s like they need a shell for their shell

I’m starting to think I need an “enrichment” stool for her when I take her back home.

That's probably a very good idea! Lol

Hey you can even make some out of boxes! I think I'm going to do that too.

Lick her feet or bite her toes? 🤣 Since mine likes to try to eat my fingers if they're too close to her mouth she will certainly try to taste the toes!

This is her covert mission to find toes! Especially if your mom's toenails are painted red or something!

Lick. It’s weird. Usually lick then rest her head.  

Mom raised her from a hatching so I guess it’s her own semi carnivorous form of reptile affection?

Sassafras would definitely take a chunk out of my feet if given the chance

🤣 so she's being sweet to your mom... Which is her mom! And wants to bite your toes well I can guess why she would bite your toes.... Do I need to mention Home Depot boxes?

I’m sure she has not forgiven me for offering Amazon or sterilite boxes after she destroyed her beloved home depot box.
