Sleeping Tortoises

Chris Ralph · 10-11-2007, 10:19 PM

They do make me chuckle. I have 4 baby hermann tortoises and they like to sleep close together but this evening I found the smallest one on top of one of the others. You can see in the picture.
It can't have been very comfotable for either tort but they were both fast asleep.

LOL Glad you managed to capture that. My tort looks so cute asleep but every time we try to photograph him he seems to know and springs to life before the cameras out of the bag!

hi there i have 5 herman hatchlings and the smallest one titch always buries herself at night , then the other 4 all race to pile on top of her , falling asleep at odd angles, they really make me smile. Yours are gorgeous by the way!

Thanks-I think all the baby torts I've seen are lovely-it was so difficult to chose which hatchlings to take home with me. I started wtih just 2 but after a week or so I thought I needed another 2!!! Hubby has made me promise no more

For now anyway...LOL
