" Shes a man eater"*hall/oats 1980 something! ITS THE NATURE OF THE BEAST ! I love hearing this! It is what I experence everyday! You discribed it to a T. I go to all the truble to give them a clean eating tray and they walk over it draging dirt and leaves all over the food. Mine to will sneak up from behind and BITE. Mine are adults and sometimes I feel their breath and move at the last nano-second! The leader of the pack here is a big oversized emys around 45_50 LBS. She broke the book record for number of eggs many times with 60 eggs.(I think Das quotes 34 eggs along with others.) Thats as many as a big old phayrei. She comes hall'in but out of the hut or where ever she is and RUNS full blast for me with or without food EVERYTIME. Her name is "Ding Back" (she has a "ding" or chip off a scute on her Carapace) We warn people when they get in with the emys. I dont know about yours but mine will follow me from one end to the other of a huge (I mean HUGE) enclosure for as long as I can keep it up. They are super cool primitive beast from yesteryear. It's what I mean by "A keen awareness of human presense"*vm. I hear other folks report this, "attack of the emys too." Vic Morgan
