I have seen the gopher and several females just look at each other.

Have you seen him all the way out of the burrow?

Many of times, usually in the evening, he has a path that he travels to a large field. He is very brownish, I think he is still a sub adult. He is just neat to see, he has been there for about three years now. What is interesting is there is a large adult Florida box turtle that lives just behind his burrow. I will try to get pictures of both.

He looks like he's plotting something.

He looks like he's plotting something.

I notice him mostly sideways in his burrow about one foot in.

Who knows, Greg...he might see how well you take care of your Aldabras, and might want in on some of that action!

Of course, if I was a desert tort...I'd be pretty friggin' impressed by a herd of giant Aldabras myself.

Hell, who am I kiddin?! I'm a human and I'm still impressed by Aldabras!

Would definitely like to see some pics of the Florida box when you can get 'em. Used to have boxies as pets all the time when I was a youngin'.
