The Sherminator

A few days ago someone asked me when we would be seeing more of Sherman on my blog, so this morning I got out the camera and snapped a few photos.

All was quiet in Shermanville.  The ‘sun’ had just come up and Sherman was nowhere to be seen.  It usually takes him a while to come out from wherever he’s buried himself, he can be such a lazy git at times.

Ahhh, wait… there he is!  He must have felt the warmth from his basking light and started making his way out.  Time to start a new day, Sherman!

He’s up, but isn’t really amused since I sort of gave him a little nudge after getting impatient for him to show his face.  You’d think he’d be happy to see me, I mean I am the one who brings the food after all!

Speaking of food… a peace offering after waking him up.

NUM NUM!  Iceberg lettuce has absolutely no nutritional value for tortoises but it was all I had handy, after the photo session he got his proper food.   He didn’t seem to care though, but then again he is a bit of a pig and will eat pretty much anything we give him (don’t worry he only gets tortoise friendly eats).

I went back an hour after giving him his food and found this.  Sherman chillaxin’ under his lamps.  Really, it must be tough being him (oh, or her… I don’t know yet!)

So there you have it. Sherman is still going strong and getting bigger and better every day.
