Smile say hello to Pickles!

Went and picked up my new tort today finally!

He/she is just coming up to 3 years old. I had a choice of two, Pickles spent the whole time stomping on everyone and trying to escape and the naughtiness won me over lol.

Since he's been home he's stomped around and made a mess of the lovely tidy table i made, turned the water bowl into muddy soup, eaten a couple of dandelion leaves, some rose petals and half a pansy plant i planted in there, and has really gone for it with the cuttlefish!

He's absolutely gorgeous! It looks like you've done your research and have provided a lovely home and environment for him

Thank you I hope it's a good home for him. He certainly seemed to enjoy exploring/eating it! Fast asleep in his hide now

It's meant to be a spur thighed. The breeder did have marginated youngsters too but they were reserved. She did point out which were which but to be honest I wouldn't have been able to tell who was who. I assume she gave me the right one? Do you think maybe not?

Thank you I think so too. He's really funny. He was trying to be all macho and ramming his cuttlefish earlier
