Hey ALDABRAMAN, awkward question time. I've just been browsing the forum and read a warning about male tortoises "flashing". It's pretty nasty. I still want to get an aldabra someday... but I don't particularly want to see such a large tortoise "flash". Is this a common thing for male aldabras? And please... don't answer this one with pictures. ;)

~ It is rare, I have actually never seen a mature male flash that was not involving a mating event.
