"Tetrapod Biology" is a blog by Darren Naish that occasionally touchs on chelonians and makes some interesting observations. Here are some recent posts:

(FYI- 'Tetrapod' means 'four limbs'. It differs from 'quadruped' since quadruped means 'four legs', and tetrapods can have two legs and two wings, etc. Tortoises are both quadrupeds and tetrapods.)
