And the tortoise finally give up and took a lunch break. So we have a courtship fail. This is the first time I have ever seen gopher tortoise courtship. I did catch them mating last year. I was not expecting one of the tortoise to just walk away.

Well shoot Al, guess we know who doesn't keep tortoises lol. Guess I need to retitle the thread :) Would this happen between two tortoises regardless of gender?

well actually, maybe...at least I have seen 2 male snakes do that when there was a female nearby:o but thats still technically courtship.
