Is he telling me Strictly is nearly on ? Please don't say I am the only one and have a weird tortoise that wiggles when scratched ! CB

They can do this when it rains, or if its hot and you spray a hose pipe over them. I think its a bit like walking through long grass to remove parasites etc from body and shell.
