If you look really close, you can see a smooth circle on the side of my head. That's the membrane that recognizes sound vibrations so I can hear. Oh, how I am fearfully and wonderfully made!
Happy Hour (pre-surgery)
About Me
- Grandma the Desert Tortoise
- United States
- I'm a Sonoran Desert Tortoise who hatched in 1965. I've been getting weak and wobbly so we finally realized a trip to the exotic vet was in order. Anyway it turns out I've been hauling around a baseball-sized bladder stone! No wonder my shell was dragging! The x-ray was very shocking and no one was thrilled about it. But I had surgery on 9/30/2009 and now I'm recovering indoors until next summer. It's funny, people don't realize tortoises have personalities and know their master's voice. I'm grateful to mine because they are doing their best for me. They say I'm the sweet one. Yes, my yard buddies are a wild bunch sometimes, while I always mind my manners.
