What are some funny/cute things your reptiles have done?
I have (former and current) a whole range of species, yet my tortoise seems to do the funniest things of all of them (as well as my dog, she's just nuts lol)
Sometimes, even just the way they look at us spastically for a second cracks me up, or the faceplants they have into their cage walls.

One of my stories: (This happened about an hour ago)

I let Gir (sulcata) out to walk around the apartment. I told my husband that she would be out, so he could watch her. I get out of the shower, walk into the living room and ask "where is Gir?". He has no idea (this is not surprising as he was playing video games, but the apartment is tortoise proof so no biggie). We are looking and looking.. no Gir. We looked everywhere she could go! I started to panic!

After a few minutes, we happen to look at my dog's bed. Gir was splat in the center taking a nap with her legs out in all directions like a drunkard. I ran to get my camera, she woke up and every time I tried to get a good angle she would follow me (which, of course, ruined the pic).
Until today, she has NEVER been able to get up there on her own (It's maybe 5 inches off the ground).

I resized the pic, hope it worked! If it's too big I will take it off

I'm going to make this short and simple then link to my profile.

I'm Fenryn, I'm a 21 year old female and obviously I'm looking for LJ friends. I'm looking for people who share similar interests. Top things I'm interested in: anything paranormal, Paganism (all forms), religion in general, therianthropy, photography, animals, wolves, anime, being outside (mostly heavily wooded areas), and other such things.
I was working as a cook but am now the owner of a candle company and am very excited about the whole thing. I have a lot of interests and I do a lot of different things, I think people will enjoy reading my journal. I update quite often and comment as much as I can.

Hi everybody :)
My sulcata, Gir's birthday is coming up on the 2nd and I am trying to give her a little party. I know I could give her the "usual" fruits but I want to give her something special.. maybe a recipe of sorts?

Are there any fruit or veggie dishes that I can cook or bake up for her? When it comes to baking, I am not creative and a bit intimidated by it..

She will, of course, get a "2" bday candle lol

Also, is there anything fun I can make for her, physically? She has a log that she likes to climb over and she runs around the house 1-2 times a day but I was thinking maybe a safe game of sorts?

Yes, I definitely AM that crazy animal lady lol

A little background on Gir since I never really post that much:
We bought her at a trade show. She wasn't the right "color", a little green, so we took her to the vet and $800 later, she had surgery to remove her infected outer skin layer and her jaw broke in the process. So she has a bit of an underbite thing going on. She's getting very good at eating normal foods now :). She had numerous health problems for about a year and we needed to give her little shots in her teeny arms (which are very strong and it hurts when she closes them on us!!) I'm so happy she made it and is feeling 100% great.

She's my dog's best friend and I'm happy to find a community that loves tortoises and turtles!!
