Cute Tortoise Takes Leap of Faith

This is my adorable Burmese Mountain Tortoise Dwayne doing some of his favorite activities.

NOTE: This doesn't hurt him, he does it all the time. Also, the heat lamp looks dangerously close to him at times, but in reality he has a good half a foot at least between him and the bulb. The video flattens the space somewhat, so don't worry about him! He's a happy, healthy little guy. :)

aww poor guy, he has no room to walk around so thats all he can do.

@SugarBumblebee

Don't worry, he has plenty of room. His cage is huge compared to him! He just likes to climb.

not to be a smart ass, honestly curious if those Burmese Mountain Tortoise's are natural prey items to my Burmese Python (I would never feed on to her, just curious if they're consumed in the wild by the snakes)

@skinnywhop87

I do not believe so. I have never heard of a snake eating a turtle in general, and also these guys are the fourth largest land tortoise in the world. Even for a Burmese Python they would probably be hard to swallow. Dwayne's just a baby :)

i know this is kind of naive, but after seeing this i want a tortoise. not right away, but some day. is he difficult to take care of? i did a little research and got conflicting answers to that question, so i figured it would be better to ask someone who actually owns one.

@Cuddlebunzzz

No, he is not hard to take care of at all. Mostly all there is to it is feeding and making sure he has enough water and humidity in his cage daily. The most difficult thing about owning a tortoise like him is the upfront cost, since both he and the cage are very expensive. It's worth it though! Just remember, if you do get a tortoise, the most important thing to look for is personality.

[MegaUnfunny]

[Xenaluver]

He kind of looks like he's trying to commit suicide in the cutest way possible.
