Hi, friends! I’m sorry that we’ve been too busy to share our tortoise time over the past couple of months, but this was worth taking a break for a quick edit and post.

Leopard tortoise is a large and attractively marked tortoise found in the savannas of eastern and southern Africa, from Sudan to the southern Cape. It is the only extant member of the genus Stigmochelys.

I don't think I've mentioned that since Marky has been cleared of pinworms, he has moved into the mansion with Joey and Dee Dee. He's made himself comfortable at Dee Dee's expense.

Tortoise weigh-ins today!! Dee Dee has picked up 19 grams since last month. Joey is catching up by adding 15 grams last month. Marky is holding steady, but he has finished his doses of panacur and the last fecal sample tested negative for the pinworms with which he came to us.

Very proud of our tortoise friends!

Joey and Marky share a "Lady and the Tramp" moment over prickly pear pads.

This might be the first time we've fed Marky snap peas.
