Who dat?

1. On Saturday I decided it was time to clean turtle's tank.

2. Usually I let Chips wander around the apartment when I do.

3. Later on, as I was filling the tank with fresh water, I heard a thump in my bedroom.

4. Only to find turtle looking at itself in the mirror, and trying to walk toward itself. I think he was freaking out.

5. A few seconds later, he walked away, only to turn around walk up to the mirror and gaze at himself once more.

6. Unless the turtle sees somewhat of a reflection in his tank, I think, this may be the first time, in the 20 yrs I have owned him, that he has seen himself, and that I have seen him actually doing this! LOL

Chips is pretty mellow and/or intelligent if he was able to walk away from his reflection.

He was taking after Rick and leading that cute male towards "his place".

Aaaaaah. Like daddy, like turtle.

LOL.

If turtle were out in the wild, he'd lure more to his bed than I would. He can be a pretty aggressive little bugger. LOL

Never underestimate the sex drive of a tortoise or turtle.

There's a REASON they've been around for thousands of years.

I wonder if Chips wiggles his butt, too?

[cellboy.livejournal.com]

Tail yes. And spreads legs too! :P

I would presume that he doesn't automatically flip over on his back, however.

LOL. No unfortunately, he's not very versatile. Versatility is the spice of life!
