A Basic Guide To Tortoise Care
One of the most popular types of tortoise is the Sulculta Tortoise, yes, there is also the Galapagos Tortoise, but personally, one of our favorites is the sulculta. Sulculta Tortoises are the second biggest in the world. We have a sulculta as well as some other reptiles and snakes. We consider ourselves to be experts in caring for a pet tortoise, as we have tons of experience caring for our own sulculta, as well as some other reptiles and snakes.
Sulculta tortoises are known for having a long lifespan. They actually have been known to outlive humans! If you want your tortoise to live a long time, you need to understand what responsibilities are included in his care. It is kind of bizarre to think that humans can pass colds on to tortoises. Unfortunately for a tortoise, such a cold could be deadly to him! They also are prone to developing “crust” in their eyes, so you must keep a look out for that.
Tortoises may be (very gently!) handled when they are young, however most of them grow too large to be held comfortably. Moving a turtle is simply a case of appealing to their tastes. A bright edible flower or a piece of fruit may be used as a luring device. Tortoises can eat fresh grass from outside as long as you are positive that it doesn’t contain any chemicals which can be harmful. If you want an “outside tortoise,” you can build a covered shelter for him, but it HAS to have a roof to keep him from being preyed upon. Also, depending upon the temperature where you live, you may have to have the housing temperature controlled, as tortoises can be very sensitive to temperature.
When kept outdoors, they should be in areas where there is direct sunlight as well as shade. When you keep them indoors, you need artificial sunlight on them for fourteen hours a day. You can do this by using a full spectrum UVB light. Make sure you change the light routinely as it may appear to be working, but it’s not working like the sun does. Inside, you will need to have a basking light for the little guy. Tortoise care can be very fun and there are lots more stuff you need to know, such as the substrate (soil is best so they can burrow) and the other types of foods they can eat.

Since your a guy I would use Bedhead products, my brother also got his hair done by a stylist and loves it. He uses the shampoo,hair conditioner and hair serum for extra shine. Sometimes when he wants to spike it just a tad he uses something called hair glue but trust a little goes a long way. Here go to there website http://www.tigihaircare.com/
***Dont shampoo everytime you wash your hair as it strips natural hair oils and make your hair look dull but always condition it.

Wasn't the term metrosexual coined for these types of men. I'm not a woman, but I don't think a person who takes care of them physically should be seen as vain. If using skin care and straightening makes the person feel good and ready, then whatever. The obsession is what I would view as vain and if a man has to check himself in the mirror a lot or admire himself, then that would be vain. And the biggest thing, is the cockiness or conceitedness like "I'm the shit and so good looking" vibe or what you can see by the way a guy acts, walks and/or talks. But like I said there's a difference between confidence and having pride in your apperance and taking care of yourself, to vanity and arrogance over one's appearance. I described the different though, so it depends on these things.
