How is there room for it?

I'm sorry for what I'm about to write but tonight after reading the forum, I got curious so I looked it up. Holy cow, boy tortoises are packing! I know how much food my tort eats and I know how much poo comes out. My question is how do they have room for any organs with all that food, poo and "manhood" so to speak. Haha! It's crazy! I was hoping Darwin was a boy but now, I sure hope he turns out to be a girl. Haha!

Well, for one thing, when "it" is up inside it is not swollen and much smaller than it is when it is engorged and sticking out.

I thought the same thing when my boy flashed me. It is like a big ugly flower.

Ha! I'm *so* stealing this! What will my boyfriend think when I tell him to keep his "big, ugly flower" to himself?

LMAO
