Beardie sez "Help! I'm being chased by turtles!" :p

Sloooowly chased!

Maybe sulcattas or leopards? Our leopard tortoise looked a little different when he was that size. They're so cute when they're babies.

Afraid I'm mostly only familiar with snakes but, I do hear torts make fun pets! Cute when small, but pretty impressive when larger :)

I've seen a full grown Sulcata once and it was VERY impressive. Sweet as punch but I can't imagine the room it'd take to house an adult one!

You know I was curious and did a search and found this: Harpo's story about a 4 or 5 year old adopted Sulcata... gotta say sounds like a LOT of work, patience, and space!
But pretty awesome critters!

I'd buy a house and let him rule the back yard XD

BEARDIE! Oh god I miss mine so much. :( Maybe that's a Sunfire? Not sure; it's been a while since I looked at the colors.

XD about the only beardie morph I can recognize are silkbacks/leatherbacks, and even those involve several genes I'm not terribly familiar with

I used to know pretty much all of them, but once my old man Taylor passed on I kind of separated myself from beardies for a bit. I should really get back into it. There's even a somewhat local reptile show I've been to a couple times and they've had some lovely color morphs, so maybe I'll reward myself with a new baby for a college semester well done.

Hmmm, I'm mostly good at snakes myself! I figure they'd be all the same kind of tort though, usually people like to keep different species separate to avoid confusion.

Hmm, I see what you mean; at first I thought it was a trick of the camera angle but now I'm not sure.
I wish I'd had more time to stop and chat and record things, I was kind of dashing around since I didn't have a helper and my table was unattended XP
If these shows weren't all 3+ hours away from me I'd do more solely for fun!

I've seen dealers mixing young leopards with sulcatas, which is disastrous if they're selling to new tort keepers.

D: Yikes! I can only imagine what might happen to someone coming home with a sulcata thinking it's a leopard!

Ahhh I got curious and started browsing tortoise classifieds until I found a photo that looked about right...
I think these are all Spur-thighed or Greek Tortoise or Testudo graeca ibera as their shell pattern seems pretty distinctive...
