Me too. A jack is a stallion mule, right?

Or donkey

So he pretty much made an ass of himself!

Most of the time he made an ass of every one around him just ask Brian (the vet) :lol:

I know Brian. He looks after all our pets. Even "Beevis" the "Pet from Hell" 5 foot iguana we used to have. I hated that thing!

*gasp* How can anyone hate an Iguana. My two (both Reds) are sweethearts. They're in bed now, but when I'm home during the day they get free range. except for in the sulcata room

Okay, Hijack over

Sorry for the additional hijack but I was all "what is a sulcata" and so I googled it and .. well, I just had to share the image that came up in result #3:

Well! I guess that answers my question. I'll stop hijacking now..

That thing was horrible! It was a good pet until it laid a huge clutch of eggs, (do lizards lay clutches?), then it turned into the Satan Reptile. It would attack anybody and anything. I had built it a 6' high by 4'x4' glass and plywood home with a large dead tree limb to climb on. When anyone came near it's home it would launch itself at them and smack into the glass. We couldn't let it out anymore because it would chase and bite anything in its path. Not to mention the whipping with its tail. Not a nice girl.
PS: What is a sulcata room?

hahaha great pic Tony. Mine won't be doing that yet, they're not old enough but the noises Tortoises make when they do it is hilarious.

I have two Sulcata tortoises. A Male (Fonzworth Bently) and a female (Petunia). Fonzworth is about 18" right now and Petunia is close behind him (around 14"). But they are a fairly active tortoise, so they need lots of room. Not to mention that males can get up to 3 feet and weigh over 200 lbs. So, I pretty much made a room into a giant cage for them. Heat bulbs are hung (similar to the way we hang our reef lights, but the tort lights are spotlamps) lots of dirt/sand mixture big ledges/rocks they can burrow under etc.

Years ago while at the Honolulu Zoo, we heard this strange noise. We tracked it down to this bare pen with nothing but large boulders in it. Then I noticed all the boulders were in pairs. Suddenly, a long neck stuck up from one of the boulders and emitted this strange noise. After walking around to the other side of the pen we could see all these large tortoises doing their thing. Weirdest noise I've ever heard coming from an animal.
