I share my home with a juvenile iguana named 'Chou' and 2 russian tortoises.
Just a sidenote, last winter, a tiny homeless dog came to my door. I let him in. He stayed around for several months, then he disappeared. However, while he was here, he and the russian tortoises (who have the run of the living room) really enjoyed each other. Willy, the dog, got his name because he loved to play with 2 balls at once. He'd toss one, grab the second and toss it, then rush to get the first one, then make a mad dash to get the second. I named him after Willy Mays.
The female tortoise loved the dog's fur, and one day she was able to get close enough to Willy to touch it. Willy got startled and ran across the living room - and the tortoise was RUNNING after him as fast as she could!!
Another time, when Willy was playing ball by himself, he invited the tortoise to play by gently tossing the ball to her. She didn't know what to do, but it was so neat to see how he tried to invite her to play.
I sure wish Willy were still here.
