You guys may remember that a few weeks ago I was unsure if Slash ( formerly Peaches) really was a she. The consensus, not that I doubted it, was SHE was a HE. WELL.... Tonight when his warm soak was finished, he dropped a nice big poo.. Then flashed me his junk! First time I've seen it, and after being at the birth of my 3 sons, I didn't think much could shock me. BOY WAS I WRONG!! That thing is disgusting! I preferred when I thought Slash was a girl ;) ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1399143746.474220.jpg

Try having a big Sulcata. Bob was way up on all 4's and grunting, so I thought something was wrong so I laid down in the grass and tried to see when just at that time this LONG ugly thing came at my face. It looked like the monster in Alien, and was I embarrassed, mostly cuz I was dumb and figured any experienced keeper wouldn't have stuck their face down there...lol

It's gross! I shouted on my missus to come see it, and she couldn't get away quickly enough. He had it right out and repeatedly popped it in and out. Dirty boy :)

Aye! I'm not fussed. Just with having 3 (human) boys it was nice to have a girl around the house. "She" was my wee girl. Till that purple beast jumped out at me

Well, sorry to tell you that there will never be a last time!
You will see this... THING repeatedly! And it will NEVER loose its disturbing nature... Ever. ;) :D

Thanks...that's reassuring!

I'd seen a video of it happening, but never in real life! Zoiks, it was horrific.

So, this is what I have to look forward to?? When one of my 3 finally decide to show me their junk? *Shudder*

Haha that's funny....but only when it happens to other people. ;)
I'm dreading the day that happens to me.
It really is the ugliest thing you have ever seen. And some torts like to flop it out and play with it, often. Gross and embarrassing...

The dirty bugger did it today in his water dish. He peed so I lifted him out to empty and refresh water and he had the whole thing out, waving at me! He then crawled SLOWLY across his orchid bark, I'm sure he was getting his jollies from it!

Ha, it could be worse. My tortoise is female but I've also got a male horse. When they "relax" and let it all hang out it certainly attracts unwanted stares. You get used to it, eventually...

I'm kinda laughing about this, but every time I go to check on this thread it opens the page right on Slash's junk. I do believe I have seen it now more then I want to...lol

And you said you had some young "human" boys. I think left to their own devices that is pretty much what they would do also. There's just no civilizing our torts.
