So today is bath day. And as I'm typing this Grigor is in the tub. Something strange has been happening. Once before I was sitting with him as he soaked just making baby talk because I'm a twenty year old female who loves her tortoises. Of course I'm embarrassing. Anyway, I always remove him from the water and change it if he poops. I thought he had pooped and picked him up and it was not what I was ready for. He had his little tortoise *cough cough* out. Big ordeal. Anyway it happened just now. Not once but twice! I'm not up to par with anatomy but it comes from the cloaca or is the cloaca? Anyway when it comes out a yellowish fluid does as well. Please someone pm me and tell me what's happening and why.

He grew up so fast. I'm blaming this on my boyfriend. Ladies, when your son...matures...don't you blame it on dad? I don't know, I'm not to that point in my life. I just want to know why during his baths.

No, I didn't blame my sons growing up on their dad. :D It's just of those things, you want your children (human and otherwise) to grow up, but then they do and you sorta wish for the time when they were just sweet little innocents. ;) During the bath, because the warm water would feel almost along the same lines, as if he were actually inserted into a female. Sorta the same lines as warm water making tortoises (and humans) get the urge to release themselves. It's how nature has programed us to react to outside stimuli.

Be prepared, they "flash" you at other times, too.

Yes, what an explanation indeed. Thank you. I was just taken aback a little by this strange occurrence. At least this has assured me that he is in fact a he.

Males tortoises do it (flashing) because they can, I find it odd though, when tortoises do it most people think oh how cute, but when I do it, the authorities get involved.
