what a cute, grouchy little face!



i've read what you mentioned elsewhere, regarding redfoots -- that forest tortoises don't require as much direct light and that too much may actually harm their eyes. i always optimistically assumed that if given shade, a hide, or other "escape" from the light/heat, instinct would lead them to do what they need to do. junior has always seemed to self-regulate, whether as a baby living in an aquarium or now as she freely wanders in and out of her enclosure. she gets to hang out on the porch with us sometimes, too.
