Jet usually stays outside most of the day now and I bring him in at night. I noticed him doing something very curious last night and wonder if this is typical behaviour. He took the time to drag several pieces of assorted salad greens and some huge dandelions sprouts into his water dish. He then proceeded to center himself in the middle of his dish and eat. He soaked while he ate for about a 1/2 hour. I've just never seen him purposely drag his food into the water - he definitely was on a mission. Funny and I guess smart?! My daughter said, "well I like to snack while I bathe too." 
Another funny (cool) note, my 11 year old and I were at the Newport Aquarium on Saturday. They had several tortoises (leopard, pancake, etc.)? I understand turtles at an aquarium but thought tortoises were a bit out of place? anyhow, I overheard my daughter telling her friend that the tortoises were pyramiding and their enclosures were so small, etc. Just smiled knowing that she is truly interested in long term health and housing of her tortoise.
