When I was a kid living in Chula Vista my brother and I found a desert tortoise and took him home. He turned out to be one of the better pets we had..... We called him Snoozer. During mating season we used to get Snoozer together with our neighbors tortoise named Titus..... Ever see tortoises fighting? They jockey for positions in order to try and flip the opponent over, literally, a battle to the death. Titus was a chicken though.... As soon as we put them together the chase would ensue. Titus was fast for a tortoise and usually elected to try a hasty exit.... Snoozer would always win in the end. Not sure how intelligent a tortoise is but Snoozer learned how to open a sliding glass door to get to our back yard.....and clover. Not long after we found Snoozer we moved to Brunswick Me. and took him with us. When winter started to roll around he'd start falling asleep all the time, so we put him into a shoe box and put him on a shelf in our closet where he'd happily hibernate. When spring rolled around we'd hear him start to call, kind of a high pitched tone...... Let him out of the box, good as new......<g>
