Flashing pics

[Livingstone]

Hey guys,

I thought with this species being so popular as a starter tortoise I would share a few good photos I took yesterday of Livingstone flashing. The first time I saw this it freaked me out a bit and I want to spare other members the unnecessary scare when they do see it.
To me its the same expression a tortoise makes when its defecating except for the extension of the legs. So for those that dont know what it looks like, here you go, and keep in mind he is 3 years 4 months old.

Thank you for looking.

I guess I will keep an eye out for Bowser standing like that now that I know he's will start flashing, lol. It's funny how they can be shy one minute and then flash you the next, lol.
