I saw @RiversideBryan posted up for "Turtle Tuesday."

But, what about Tortoise Tuesday? Is that a thing? Cause I caught a good pic of a huge tortoise at the DC zoo over the weekend.

Oh, Waldorf. How are you such a klutz?

A tortoise laying on his side, having tipped himself over. His head is laying on a basking rock and he seems resigned to his fate.

I know that Gopher Tortoises are cantankerous beasties, but this one in particular seems to be reveling in my frustration that it dug a burrow right by my front door. Really, my guy? REALLY?

Taken from the top of a stoop, looking over at the yard on the right side. It is mostly dirt, with a gopher tortoise having decided that's a good place for a burrow.

Happy Tortoise Tuesday, and relatedly, Turtle Tuesday! 🐢🐢

Pictured here is Boudicca, an African spurred tortoise, eating her favorite mix of cherry tomatoes and dandelion greens.

This is Boudicca, an African spurred who loves cherry tomatoes. She was malnourished before being rescued, which caused the unusual pyramidal development of her shell. She now lives happily in a university where she is well cared for and free to roam from biome to biome.

You've met my Bearded Dragon, Bubbs.
Now, meet my pet tortoise, Buddy. He is approximately 30 years old. I have had him since I adopted him from a rescue when he was age 9.

A different take on #TortoiseTuesday today. Bella shows me a lot of tortoise-related tiktok and instagram posts, and the cute side of these guys are well documented. I'm guilty of posting only the fun moments myself.

They are a lot of work, too. Marky came to us with a pinworm infection. Various parasites are common in little guys like this when coming from a breeder. He'll be on a bi-monthly dosage of panacur for the next eight weeks.

#TortoiseTuesday

We had our monthly weigh-ins a couple of mornings ago. In the order the photos are posted, we have Dee Dee at 89 grams, Joey at 81 grams, and the new guy Marky comes in at 38 grams for his first official weigh-in.

An approximately eight-month-old sulcata tortoise stands on a digital scale, showing   the weight to be 89 grams.Another sulcata tortoise on a digital scale, this one weighing 81 grams at six months.A younger leopard tortoise weighs in at 38 grams at about 3 1/2 months of age. One of his sulcata brothers walks on a towel in the background.
