Other hobbies?

Let's start this tread to find out what other hobbies the people here are interested in? I also do Scuba diving, skydiving, SCCA racing, love to read, sail and power boating, and am always willing to try something new. Well that is aside from the aquaria hobby. What are yours?

Currently work doesn't leave me much time for other hobbies.
Another hobby of mine is raising a sulcata tortise. I've been raising this one since it was a hatchling about 4 years ago. I think it is a female but I should be able to tell for sure within the next couple of years. At that time I will get her a mate and try to breed them.

The way you tell if it's a male or female is by checking the underside of the carpace. If it's concaved in it's a male, if it's flat it's a female. I know how you feel. Work takes too much time out of my live. I say we work 2 days and have 5 days off.

It's flat, so I'm pretty sure it is a female.

Looks like you got yourself a famale. LOL I know cause I would to work at a wildlife sanctuary and we took care of turtle too. The reason the males have the carpace concaved is because it cupped the shell of the female when it mounts her for procreation. Nice picutre by the way.

Ohh I forgot to mention that I have 3 cats also. Here's a picture of the "Alpha" male Names Sammy
