Amazing Climbing Rudy PICS!

PATMAN · 27-04-2008, 11:37 PM

I posted these pictures years ago back in 2001 so please excuse the poor picture quality.
I was recently asked to repost them, so here they are.

The story goes, I was on the Net when my wife started yelling for me to come to the living room of our apartment.
She found that my male 3 toed box turtle "Rudy" had wedged himself between the screen door and glass door to our balcony and had climbed about 4 feet in the air!

I use to let him roam free in the apt. and I guess when he saw freedom he thought he could make a break for it!
I still have him and he is one of my favorites not to mention a real stud, always after the lady turtles!

Rudy 4 feet in the air! My wife was his safety net!

The amazing climbing Rudy!!!
