Default tortoise behavior information

I have always thought how interesting it would be to read a book purely on tortoise behavior, as I think this may get owners to really think about how they can provide the environment suitable for their tortoises needs. Is there a book or articles out there?? I started to write my own but did the first 4 pages then started my degree and not looked at it since

That's a brilliant point! I've got a couple of books on cat behaviour and it has really enhanced my understanding of and my relationship with my cat!! I would love to read something like this for torts!

I've never done it myself, but do think it'd be an interesting read... can we see what you've already written? I definatley think this is something that might need to be done!
