Tortoises aren't as dumb as people think my two come to me when they are called too. My friends thought they would never learn their names but, they have and, they even go toilet on paper now too. Your tortoise is very cute too.
It's not "OMG that's so amaaaaasing or Arrrrsome" .The poor little shit was just hungry. Did you notice when he came out and saw you he stood there assessing the situation for a minute or two? That was surprise, it was wondering if it was going to get eaten.
Aw, that''s so sweet! But I don't think it's the voices it reacts to, rather the fact that it sees you. My tortoise loves following people (I do have a video of him here on youtube), and reacts instantly when somebody moves

Tortoises cannot hear their name!. But the smells it, when you near them. When my Tortoises sleep and you breath to them, they wake up. I think they also can feel the vibrations of human steps.
I have a tortise named Digger and he will come to you if you call him. He also likes to be petted under his chin and will follow you around out in the yard. We have had him for 26 years since he was less than a year old.
I'm getting a tortoise in a little while, how long can I remove it from it's enclosure to spend time with me? ^^ I'm guessig it's something small like 10-15 minutes?
We have a turtle who, every Friday, knows it's time for live fish. No joke, he is sitting by the lagoon, staring up at the top of his tank, waiting for his chow. I don't think we've ever attempted voice commands, though.
I'm not sure if tortoise really have such good ears... Mine doesn't react to sounds at all, but they have eyes, so, are you sure that it was the sound thats lures the tortoise out and not the flash light and the hand? My tortoise chases me quite often when I duck or show her my hand, she thinks it's dinner time
hahahahaha how is this good evidence? Why couldn't it be the fact that your hand is in front of its hole. Or maybe its just human voice. Not necessarily the word Taco. I'd like to see some control experiments before I call it proof.
He came out because you shined the damn flash light right in his face. He's probably thinking "ah, ****ing ***holes woke me up with that mother ****ing flashlight once again... Ahh, now that I'm awake I might as well come out and get some ****ing food. ****my life..."
He's probably not coming because you call him, he's coming out just because you're there. Use scientific method. Go stand there and see if he comes, and if not, then come back later and make noise and see if he comes.
Hate to say it but hes only comming out cause he hears voices. My two sulcata tortoises do the same thing but im not gunna lie thats a really cute guy you got there, and nice set up.
I think you woke the baby up with the flash light and vibrations of walking and noise. And if you feed it when you come around then it's associated all those things with food and comes out wanting a meal. My tortoises do this too, I wake them up by walking by and they come out expecting food in my hands. Too cute though.
I found a water one in the centre of my city,ok,well, a friend found it,but she didn't have the environment or knowledge needed to take care of it.So she gave it to me!And now I care for it as well as I can.I can't say i can provide very good living conditions,but it's summer so i guess that it's not so bad for now..I already have one small tortoise(water one) but this new arrival is the size of football.It is big and store-bought,too.What kind of people would throw it away!! Simple-heads.. :)
According to everything I have read, tortoises don't technically hear. They feel vibrations. I think she responded to you flashing your light in her face and thumping on the ground.
P.S. The short tail seems to indicate you have a little girl :)
@mistresslegato We have a tortoise too and I think he hears pretty well. Because while eating he turns his head to look if you call him. And stops walking if he hears someone calling.
And about the gender , you can't really tell which one it is until he/she reaches maturity. We were told that our tortoiste is a girl, but when he turned 14-15 we noticed that his tail grew and that he probably was he not she. Now he's 17 years old Russian tortoise with a girls name. ;)
although they lack external ears, they have an opening on each side of the skull that leads to the eardrum. Their hearing isn't as well developed as ours but they CAN hear sounds
im getting the same one at a pet shop i saw it but it was to much but i made money i saw the same one the same kind but a little.. smaller the total for the heating lamp and bedding and log and bedding is $146
ya its cute but not really amazing is it? - So many animals (most land animals) will respond to human voices in one way or another - he knows when he hears your voice there is food for him not "amazing, so amazing" lol
Tortoise are very smart! Murphy came to me always, followed me around, when I would say it's time for bed he would head for the bedroom into his bed I had made up for him. he would play with my cat and dog and when I would pick him up and he was BIG! he would streach his neck out and hug my neck!. my daughter had a smaller one it would kiss her. they are very fun pets.
Taco came out not because he is responsive to his owner but because he was verryyy hungry. Turtles are deaf....to find their prey, they use vibration. they are really sensitive to vibrations.
