Thank soooo much for that video. It Reminded me of the Gopher Tortoise we had when I was a child growing up in Gulfport, Mississippi. It's name was Pokey. We, my identical twin sister, and my 3 younger brothers loved that tortoise. Unfortunately when my brother Pete, left the door unlocked after he came in one day and Pokey, being a very smart tortoise got outside. You see, Pokey had the run of the house when he wasn't outside in his outdoor pen. That really broke all our hearts and my brother Pete was so upset over his error. Just a little info on Gophers as pets, they will go to the same place to eat and the same other place to go potty. We always thought that was pretty cool as he would go on the newspaper mom or one of us kids had to pick up the used and put down new ones for him.
