breeding activity here too!

[cvalda]

And of course it's the male I thought would NEVER "amount to anything".

Hurley... he is the world's SLOWEST tortoise... I mean, seriously, everything he does is like exaggerated slow-motion. And he has always been one to only be active one hour out of three days!

But the last few days he's been up and eating (sloooooooowly) and wandering, and today I caught him for the second time "mounting" a girl. He even was in the right spot today, but he's SOOOOO SLOOOOOW that once he gets up there, she darts off before he even knows it. ROFL!

But... YAY! I hope he keeps at it, anyway! If it doesn't produce anything, at least it's good entertainment!

Congrats Kelly!! I know what you mean...Ivan is the same way. He is being more persistant the past few days though!

Hmmph *never amount to anything* Hurley is just a little laid back is all!

 

[jlyoncc1]

Good for you! I have had a little head bobbing and other action too! Maybe we will all "Get Lucky" LOL

 

[cvalda]

ROFL! Well he has surely changed my mind today... Who's your daddy?!?! HURLEY! He has been VERY productive with Varda... very thorough job done by him just now (I got video!), and then when he was done with her, he RAN (OMG he RAN... Forrest Gump went through my head, "I was ruuuunning!") to Calypso. She's not as easy to woo, though, she's not having any of this but he's trying to sweet talk her now! I swear, he is resting his head on her shell and stroking her shell! I'm totally serious! ROFL! He also made a few moves for Billy! ROFL! Then Billy got the idea and they double teamed Calypso, and then she was REALLY mad! ROFL!

The weird thing is, Mithril is right there, and he has NO interest in her! She needs a good knocking up, if you ask me!

Anyways, Deontay is still down there with the camera so I'll get a video up and ready later!

So does this mean I can expect some eggs next month?!?!

 

[jlyoncc1]

Is there such thing as tort porn?!? LOL

 

[cvalda]

LOL really!!!

 

[Coldliz]

Congratulations Kelly!

 

[cvalda]

Here is a video of the "squeaking" he does! priceless!

 

[JustAnja]

Kelly he still needs a beak trim girl. If you want I can call you and tell you how to do that.

 

[cvalda]

oooo that sounds scary! LOL! i need to do that for Varda, too, actually...,. but both eat just fine, so is it totally necessarY? i'll email you my # if you want to call later today (I'm off for a little nap) or tomorrow!

 

[JustAnja]

I have your number Ill call you tomorrow!

 

[cvalda]

LOL Hurley has downright wore himself out! He's still in the mood but can't keep his eyes open, and he doesn't want to let the girls out of his sight, so he's propped up on one of them, sound asleep! ROFL! I should go snap a pic, I suppose!

 

[cvalda]

Two more videos, courting Calypso and getting DENIED!



And this one is funny... notice Billy in the background... decides it looks like fun and he might try it himself... Calypso disagrees! ROFL!

 

[Cam]

Congratulations!


If I am not mistaken, Mithril is the very dominant female...
he KNOWS she's there...he just to smart to attempt it

 

[cvalda]

LOL You're right, she IS the dominant one! We were thinking no one likes her since she's so pushy, so maybe he didn't want to waste his time on her. Although he did end up trying a little but he was so tired that he just ended up falling asleep on her! ROFL! Tomorrow's a brand new day, though, so maybe he'll get up the nerve to get her! I hope so, 'cause I'm pretty sure Varda's done up now! Gotta get those other big girls done up!

 

[wayne.bob]

thats really funny
