I posted these pictures years ago back in 2001 so please excuse the poor picture quality. I was recently asked to repost them, so here they are.

The story goes, I was on the Net when my wife started yelling for me to come to the living room of our apartment. She found that my male 3 toed box turtle "Rudy" had wedged himself between the screen door and glass door to our balcony and had climbed about 4 feet in the air! I use to let him roam free in the apt. and I guess when he saw freedom he thought he could make a break for it! I still have him and he is one of my favorites not to mention a real stud, always after the lady turtles!

Rudy 4 feet in the air! My wife was his safety net!


The amazing climbing Rudy!!!

ROFL That is so funny! He's the Bear Grylls of the turtle world!

OMG that's hilarious - I would love him for being a stud too!

To funny!! thanks for sharing..

Great pics.They are just amazing,the thing they can do

And some people ask what tricks torts and turtles can do. *Rudy the High Wire Turtle* ROFL. Good thing he went up the screen instead of over the porch.

Thats Great!! I am amazed sometimes by the stories you guys have about your torts.

OMG.. that is too funny! Thanks for sharing your turtle's fabulous ( yet somewhat scarry) talent... good thing it was the screen door and not the guardrail... GASP!
StudMuffin Turt Rudy, showin off some Crazy skillz for his lady friends...heh heh ;0)

Wow, what a brave turtle!!! Well I guess he's not afraid of height...
