Hi, I’m Willy 🐢

You may know me from my influencer status and occasional lettuce-covered mouth but I’m just another African Sulcata Tortoise like all of you. After a few years at the Sulcata Rescue Ranch in San Diego, I decided to give LA a try and settled at The Haus Plant as my forever home.

I like to think I keep everything in order while these fools design beautiful works of living art that sometimes finds itself close enough to the ground for me to chomp on.

As of May 2025, I’m 7-years old and weigh a modest 60-pounds. My ‘owners’ say I’ll become quadruple that size with the amount of carrots and lettuce they’re feeding me. I say let’s make that happen.

Anyway, life is good in the shell. I’m always on the move with my celebrity friends and charity events so if you want to keep up, check me out on Instagram @thehausofguhl.

Until then remember, life is like a turtle, you only make progress when you stick your neck out.

Some of my adventures so far…

  • I spend most of my time patrolling the grounds at The Haus Plant in Los Angeles @ 5951 W. 3rd St.

  • Email of course, just like any normal tortoise @ willy@thehausplant.com. This is where you can also send fan mail.

  • Instagram is my jam. Find me there @thehausofguhl
