Dirty Bastard

Basra was so happy to come in and be warm today. He is so dirty from his burrough. He sat under his heat lamp for about 8 hours. Now that he is so big it takes a while for him to warm up.

Basra The Dirty Tortoise

He is so filthy from digging in mud. I think he likes it for the humidity at night but its got to suck being that dirty and gritty afterwards. His face was so covered in dry caked on mud.

Busy boy basra

B is gone and Basra has to dig his own holes. Who knew he could dig like this? I mean he dug a small tunnel in 2006 but this is full on brick moving and mountain building. He seriously must be bored or angry now that he can't rape all day.

Basra the Sulcata Drinking From Hose

Another 640 x 480 video because I forgot to change the camera to the HD setting, ugh. Anyhow, here is proof that sulcatas will basically drink from a hose. Basra even likes to drink from the sprinkler.

Tortoise Poop Compost

It is unreal how much poop those two tortoises make. This pile from this week alone and that's not even all of it.

Its pretty much just grass and weeds. If you leave it long enough it turns back into that. I read online that because they eat no meat, it makes great fertilizer so I have been composting it.

Digging In deep

Yesterday, the weather went from high 70s to like 40 degrees in one day. I left the tortoises out the whole day because I think they think I am keeping them inside when its nice outside. (e:terry) thinks I am crazy for thinking that they think. B responsed by digging a burrough.
