I've heard of a two car garage, but never, in all my years, have I seen

[ET Awful]

a two tortoise garage:



These guys are each at least 2 or 3 times as big around as your average coffee table.

I'm surprised they haven't learned to back into their garage :)

1. Soup!

[ET Awful]

3. Hehehe, just don't get close to those claws . . . each one is about as

big as your fist :)

2. Galapagos Tortises? n/t

[ET Awful]

5. Could be, the sign and zoo map just list them as Giant Tortoises.

So, I'm not 100% sure.

7. Not only can I not spell tortoise

I just looked it up and there are two kinds. I knew that but had forgotten. Aldabras and Galapagos. Could be either or one of both! Cool. They are very nice creatures that actually have a bit of a personality.

8. THey do indeed. They know their keepers

and when the keepers go into the enclosure and scratch them under the chin, they stretch their necks way out and up :)

They're actually pretty cute :)

9. I used to work

at our zoo and we had two and I do believe they were Aldabras. I worked with reptiles and amphibans for a while and they were in that area of my care.

I am rehabing an American Toad at my barn right now. He kind of took to my barn and stayed and I would scratch him and he seemed to like it. Something ate or stepped on one of his back legs and now he has only 3 legs but the darn thing has healed and can hop around but he never leaves my barn aisle and the little house I made for him. He hops out and stops until I scratch him. Funny creatures. He lives with a Leopard Frog that has found his way there. I also have a box turtle now that looks like he had been mowed over more than once.

MuseRiders home for diabled critters I call it. :)

11. Cool :)

Turtles and frogs and toads, OH MY! :)

4. Then fellers shore are wrinkledy.

whew

[ET Awful]

6. Indeed, and they wouldn't let me close to them with an iron

go figure.

:evilgrin:

10. Don't let John Cornyn see this thread

You know how he feels about Man-Turtle lust and that's what this thread is about - lust

[trof]

12. Actually, those butts do look kinda...you know...sexy?

Or not?
;-)

[LynneSin]

13. See, this would have never happened if we banned same-sex marriages

You probably never had sexual feelings about turtles but damnit those same-sex married couples have turned you into a turle-lusting fools. Oh the shame!!!

:sarcasm:

[VOX]

14. Nice, but do they have an automatic door opener?

:bounce: Couldn't resist! :bounce:

[ET Awful]

15. It's not automatic, but you can see the edges of the "door" hanging down

I think they have human servants that open and close the door for them :)
