Looking at himself!

[erica anne]

Franklin loves to look at himself in the mirror! Is that unusual? Haha
It's so cute!

 

[Urtle]

No. Not unusual. He's probably just curious.

I bet its cute

 

[ascott]

Maybe he is singing " I'm sexy and you know it"....lol

 

[kanalomele]

When I am letting my leopards soak water drain, so I can add fresh, I will face him towards the mirror. He looks at himself and bobs his head a little. One time I think he scared himself and bombed his head towards the mirror and touched it and then pulled his head in really quick like he was scared. I had to laugh at him, so funny.

I will post a picture next time he does it! I don't have any on my iPod bit he does it so often it wouldn't be a long wait!

Him looking at himself

Just understand he's not looking at "himself". He's looking at that other tortoise behind the strange barrier that he can't figure out. Only a few animals are capable of self recognition. Apes, are one. It's questionable whether dolphins or elephants can. Ravens and parrots are debatable too, but seem not to "get it". Monkeys don't get it. I've tried several species several times.
