Reptile Lover’s Thread!!

I don't really try to handle her. I fear she'd escape and get lost in our house. And my mom would freak out if I took her out of her tank
I would like to try to handle her more now that shes and adult though.
And yes, she is very cute! Her eyes are like copper. That's why we named her Penny, her eyes look a bit like pennies and she was the size of a penny when we got her.

Thank you!
I could try to handle her in the bathroom. I'll have to plug the sink and tub drain though; shes so tiny she could squeeze though the smallest gap!

She can't be more than 4 inches from head to tail. And she's flat

She's so cute! Maybe you could have a little box or something under where you handle her...? But she can climb so I guess that doesn't work. How about having her on you still in her tank?

That could work. I just worry about her climbing up my arms and jumping out though

(Lol, I post pictures of him from different days when he gets over excited and thinks food is coming in the morning, because it is too dark to get pics during feeding time!) Well, I just finished feeding and picking up Peanut! He has mealworms and crickets now! It's still really stressful picking him up because he tries to run away and hide every where. He ate a mealworm while he was in my hands, though. I think he just really likes food(he never knows when to stop! I feel like I could give him 20 insects and he'd still be begging!).

Yeah, she seems really hard to handle. I'm definitely not close to an expert myself. I'm sure she would love a new tank for her birthday, though! Even if it's stressful getting her in there.

I would love a tortoise. Are they hard to maintain.

I’m not sure. I think it depends on the type. There are some that are easier than others to maintain. @CSAchook @Tesumph @Madhouse Pullet @Crestcrazy
