I've had my sully since 12/24/11 and I've noticed he leans on one of his front foot more than the other.. and sometimes he switches. Is this normal?

IE.. if he's wandering outside sometimes he will stop and I'll notice he puts more weight on his front left foot.

Do torts & turtles have a dominant front leg?

I would have to say yes, most animals seem to be one or the other. Humans and great apes tend to be right handed more often than not.

That was my assumption.. my german shep was a rightie. And two other puppies that I use to have switched from left to right and one of 'em ended up being a leftie.

Thanks yagyujubei.
