Artemis Turns 1

 Today isn't usually a posting day.  But today is a special day: Artemis' hatchday.

It's like a birthday, only for reptiles.

Yes, that's right, Artemis is a whole year old today.

We're celebrating - or, since we've already done it, I suppose it would be more accurate to say we've celebrated - by giving her some fresh raspberries.  After all, though tortoises are allowed fruit, it's meant to be considered treats, and what better time is there than to get a treat than on your birthday/hatchday? Plus, since it was her special day, I was a bit more generous with her fruit portion than I usually am, and gave her two berries instead of one.  Anyway, you can see her enjoying her raspberries in the video and photos below.

Happy hatchday, Artemis! May it be the first of many we get to celebrate with you.
