I have a pic like this from a sulcata tortoise! She was just wandering around my neighborhood one afternoon, had apparently escaped her enclosure.

I had it set as my desktop at one point. One of my coworkers at the time, who was few screws short of osha standards, was staring at one day when I came back to my desk.

She goes, “Is that the Balkans?”

This happened over a decade ago & I still have no idea where that came from…

It's 3AM here. I went from,

Spiderweb, Spiderweb, Spiderweb (moderately alert)

To,

Oh, turtle-shell (calm)

So yes. Very calming

Also thought it was webs in a sunbeam for a sec. The opposite of calming, really.

No but it's a beatiful picture and I encourage you to keep enjoying your friend's company!

Nice pic! The texture of the shell is so clear.

I guess it's more awe than calm for me.

Gympie_Gympie_pie ,

Yes!

amio ,

Nah. The pattern is cool as hell though.

I like tortles.

aeronmelon ,

I always feel strangely calm when I see a turtle just chillin'.

Same energy as capybaras.

Muscar ,

Weird, yes it does. It's not that it's a tortoise, it's just the pattern and lighting I think. Cool photo!
