Welcome!
Hi 907_guy:
Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!
Are you usually holding him up in the air when this happens? He just might be trying to get away. Tortoises really don't like to be up in the air with no support under them.
What would you like us to call you?
...and may we know appx. where in the world you are?
