Here's my roommate, Yurtle (Marge and Dorian's tortoise who lives in the back yard). Look at his fig face! He totally ate the figs that fell off our tree. As far as I understand it, he can eat figs, they won't kill him, but they aren't exactly a natural part of the desert tortoise's diet. So, I threw some lettuce at him to distract him. He thinks he's so sneaky, but there's figs all over his face and "arms". I'm totally going to tell on him!

Will you take a close-up but can tell what the desert tortoise looks like kind of photo for me? My kids have to know this kind of stuff...except I just won't tell them that Yurtle doesn't actually live in the desert...how do I explain the figs and grass?
The story and picture just make me laugh. Only you would move to a place with a backyard pet turtle. Simply wonderful.
