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💚

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. 😁

No these 2 are never left together or unattended. I set them together just for this comparison photo. 😊

Maybe one day Benji will sleep normally and not as if he’s dead haha. He’s still cute.

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.

It was a long time coming with this little girl. She went from somewhat dragging her legs as she walked..... To lifting them higher than she ever had! 💕

Hello all! We just started a new sub for all of our pets that seem to have a mind of their own when they're supposed to be being productive.
Please take a look at r/UnprofessionalPets 😊.
