    Weird–it’s so perfect it looks like a plastic mold or something, not actual live turtle ‘tocks.

  2. Hon Glad says:

    Will you be shelling out for one?

  3. mm says:

    -with the special tailio cut-out…

  4. Natalie says:

    Oh my gosh! That’s my Ben! Erm, I mean my son’s tortoise.

    Yay Ben!!!!!

  5. brinnann says:

    Another fine representation of Tock-toe-ber.

  6. brinnann says:

    Natalie, is Ben having some identity issues? What with the frilly skirt and all…

  7. chanpon says:

    Turtles are always so modest, covering their little tushies with their skirts (unlike some teens I know today). I love his little scaly feet!

  8. This ‘tock looks like it was made out of chocolate. No?

  9. 260Oakley says:

    A lady never shows her tailio in public. That’s what they tor-toise in school.

  10. Fegli says:

    And look – matching booties! What’s next, a pet snailio in a purse?

  11. Kris says:

    Cute tocks! Tiny turtle tailios are terrific!

  12. Kari says:

    Holy cow! Look at that manicure (pedicure?)! Are you sure Ben is a he and not a she, Natalie?? I’d kill for nails like that!

  13. Kari says:

    Oh, and did I mention, it’s *launches into singsong voice* faaaaa-bu-lous!!!

  14. bonnie says:

    I love the little scrunchy leg warmers – very Jazzercise!

  15. Tee says:

    To me, this one is only beat by the Rhinotocks, which was the BEST EVAR!

    Love Turtle Tock Fa-shons!

    OOOHH!! Beautiful !! I have never seen a white turtle before !! Very cute indeed!!

  17. jmuhj says:

    Need some lacquer for the nailios, too. May I suggest merlot for Autumn.

  18. Katrina says:

    Ben’s footsies look like the center of a sunflower-very twee!

  19. Ponygirl says:

    I wonder what those scaly feet would feel like against my tongue – I know that is weird, but I really want to lick them.

  20. Maya says:

    what kind of tortoise is Ben?

  21. Ben turns around and says in an old man Jewish voice: “You were expecting maybe Ann Mar-grock?”

  22. Natalie says:

    Ben is a Sulcata, or African Spurred tortoise. :)

    I didn’t think he was real the first time I saw him, but as he grows, he will look more like a typical tortoise.

  23. Shell skirts are in this winter?

    Ah — Shelley Winters!

    TUR-TLE! TUR-TLE!

  25. hi says:

  26. Lucy says:

    TORTOISE FEETS!!

  27. Cortney says:

    He’s going to grow up to be really big! Wiki says 70-100 lbs!

  28. Sarah says:

    I don’t like tocks on animals…I’m glad we’re done with tocktober in a few days…

    Natalie- My friend has a turtle named Porsche, and it will live 100 years, we are told. (She is a herpatologist). They let Porsche run around the house. Ummmm, walk around the house so. They have a house turtle(tortoise)! I told them they should get a house rabbit, but they aren’t going for it- my advice is to get Ben a rabbit to play with. (Not that you asked, but wouldn’t it be awesome to see the two of them around the house? But then, it isn’t my house, I guess).
