I get that marginateds come from mountainous regions, but this tortoise always takes the most direct (as the bird flies) and perilous route to where she wants to be.

Here are some of the places I found her as she traversed her enclosure this week:

That's awesome! Such an active beauty! And her hiding in the flower bush is adorable! My Sulcatas will climb anything and try to squeeze in anywhere, crazy about boxes too, they are like cats that way. One day, I find one on the bookshelf, another sailing the rumba or getting into a flower pot! Love them! I dunno why the majority of people think turtles are boring rocks.

Oh yeah, and once Othello discovered he could be like Aladdin on a magic carpet, he didn't miss a chance to do it again, and again until he got out of that phase. Hahaha. On the other hand, we have a kiddie piano and every day somebody plays me a song! Makes my heart flutter every time. :)
