Grrrr!!
You don't when they don't want to move LOL!

Last night DH went to work so here I was by myself with a sulcata I can't pick up.
So what did she do? Half of our driveway is caliche, sort of like a dirt road. She got under the company pickup truck, started trying to dig her way to China... although caliche is extremely hard & difficult to dig so she didn't get very far.

She was right up against the inside of the front tire & wouldn't move for anything.. not even the promise of a bright red juicy strawberry. I generally don't feed her fruit but sometimes a strawberry works wonders as a lure.. not this time.
I was so MAD!!
I finally nudged her out by irritating her with a thick wooden dowel. I finally got her to move far enough away from that tire to back the truck up & away from her.
She's such a brat! When she realized her cover wasn't coming back she got up, walked to her home where she belongs and went to bed, leaving me covered in sweat & white caliche dust.
OH MAN I need a hydrolic tortoise lift!!
Can someone please invent one for me?
LOL
