Your turtle picks your movies?

LOL

Offer him a copy of “Gamera” next Christmas and see if he picks that...:)

I know people with house Tortoises who follow them *everywhere* like devoted dogs.

Nobody ~really~ knows *how* much is going on inside their heads.

I can’t see him getting out to where the cars are parked.

Too much open space to cross and they don’t like that at *all*.

Yes, he’s named after The Coop.

[it sure beat naming him “Monty”]

;)

Yes, when the four of us can't decide on a movie Bob the Turtle usually does, although it's a little harder with Pay- per- view and Netflix!

Bob the big baby would probably be afraid of Gamera! Just checked the thread and I'm sorry you haven't found Alice yet.

Maybe he'll show up when you least expect it, looking for you!

When I was a kid my Aunt was somehow (I don't remember where they came from) given two turtle eggs and an incubator and when they hatched and were extremely small, one escaped in her house and she thought it was lost forever. We brought our dog over (a beagle) and within ten minutes the beagle was barking at a gun case. The baby turtle was under it and my Aunt was able to find it. Do you have access to a dog with a good nose?
