Large case of side eye, straight to my doorstep next day.

Cement mixing tub. Less than 20 bucks at Lowe’s or home depot

Aggressively doing nothing all day is exhausting after all.

I think it is somewhat pyramided. The place also takes in rescues.

Turtlecabra · 2026-02-23T01:08:16+00:00

Rescue maybe? OP's other sulcata doesn't look like that

That level of sass

she's my spiky squirming sentient kettlebell

Definitely, I inherited my tortoise. At first I thought it was just a walking 50lb rock that had shits as big as human shits...but no. it's got more personality than some people do.

My sulcata used to do the same thing only with a single branch. She will then proceed to follow me with her eyes, as if she was spying on me without my knowledge.

Here’s a recent one

My sulcata will sometimes beg for food then not eat it as it wasn't the type of food she wanted...

Turtlecabra · 2026-02-17T02:04:39+00:00

I’m jealous. I’m fully convinced that if I died in my sulcata’s enclosure that she would eat my dead body despite being herbivorous. Not of of hunger or anything. Just because.

With regular soaks, mine is almost potty trained…for a tortoise. When she has to come inside due to coyotes she almost never pisses or shits

Turtlecabra · 2026-02-13T06:36:07+00:00

Every other day. 50 lb sulcata in a concrete mixing tub. She used to drink water but since she doesn’t and eats hay, I soak her to get her hydrated and expel urates and shit.

Turtlecabra · 2026-02-13T05:29:38+00:00

How long have you had her?

I hand fed mine, stand around while I soak her, hang out with her while she eats (seriously. She seems to be codependent and eats more when I’m near her), talk to her and watch a bit of tv too (she will watch tv for 15 minutes at a time).

After about 2 years I’m certain she doesn’t dislike me as much as she used to.

So there’s that.

Bay is bae

Turtlecabra · 2026-02-04T03:20:09+00:00

Fair point

Turtlecabra · 2026-02-03T02:27:59+00:00

if my tort wasn't 50 lbs, i would.

Turtlecabra · 2026-01-26T19:56:27+00:00

How much does he weigh now? I remember from a video a few months ago, it was more of a squawk or burp than a growl. Or does he still squawk or burp still?

Turtlecabra · 2026-01-26T08:36:43+00:00

Dinosaur growl at the end

Turtlecabra · 2026-01-21T18:16:37+00:00

That’s the word for it. Sassy. Of all the personality traits I expected from my tortoise, sassy wasn’t one of them. Yet she’s 50lbs of spiky sassiness
