John Gannon, a reptile handler at the Philadelphia Zoo, spends a Tuesday morning with giant tortoises, Prickles (right) and Mommy. He feeds them bananas and scratches their rough skin."It's just one of those childhood passions that I never grew out of. Some kids like sports, drawing, but they grow out of it. I never grew out of turtles. There's always something new to learn.
"They're characters, the turtles are the most fun to interact with. Turtles will actually follow you around, it seems like they really like to be around you and they each have their own personality. Bubba over there, he'll snap at you if you ignore him or stop petting him!"
