Vampire Tort???!!!

Kristy · 27-03-2009, 08:30 PM

Ok I know this is a strange one, please don't kick me off the forum......

Before he came to me Colin had never been out in natural sunlight, when he is having a wonder on the floor and the light shines in through the patio doors (it's not really hot I'm in manchester!) and he gets caught in the sun rays he drops flat to the floor and then sort of slides about using one front leg and one back leg....he's not even trying to get out of the sun sometimes he just slides his way into a different position.

The first time he did it I thought he was ill! Does anyone know why he does this or is he clearly a vampire??

PMSL!!!! So funny! Seriously though, i dont think he is a vampire tort, just trying to get in the best position to catch some rays!!! LOL

Soooo...so far we have:
1.Fluffy-The Royal Tortoise
2.Colin-The Vampire Tortoise

Natural sunlight is very bright.If he hasn't seen it before it might get him confused and he doesn't know how to behave.He will know probably after this summer...

(if we get any of course)

He is probably just trying to get in the warmest spot by shuffling his way around

Awww, bless him he's just try to get nice and warm, oooooo sunshine!!!!

Yes he is basking in the sunlight. All normal.

As MESHELL said,Fluffy has to get the best only and he is the tort with the most incredible adventures in this forum!

If you read some older threads posted by alotoffluff,then you will understand that Fluffy is NOT JUST a tortoise.

My 2 seem to bask by standing on their hind legs and leaning up a wall if you know what I mean
