Re: my turtle did something... ODD!
Didn't you also have a ball python do something similar?

Hmm, a turtle playing with himself.. thats a first I have ever heard of this...
I really doubt he/she was "playing" with itself... animals dont have sex for gratification..they have sex to procreate. Now, if your turtle was a human, "playing with itself" may actually be what was going on... humans are the only creatures known that have sex for the gratification that can follow..not animals.

Jeanne I heard somewhere that dolphins can feel pleasure that humans do during these moments. Is this true?

If memory serves me correct.... they are still doing research on this....
Although, it is my understanding, as of this moment, some monkey species do feel like humans do.. was just told that a min. ago. Apparently, some monkeys have been found "playing with themselves". Apes in particular.

Bonobos has sex for gratification and i think that dolphins and sea lions do too

Male horses play with themselves; I remember covering this in class. We had a male goat who also did things which I will not describe here, but there was no question what he was doing.
I've had a number of clients at work describe intact male dogs who were particularly attached to certain pilllows or stuffed animals, requiring frequent laundering of said items. If that's not sex for pleasure, I don't know what is....
And in more formal literature bonobos are well-documented, as are baboons, mandrills, and quite a few other primates.
Not saying reptiles do...so far it seems to be just in the very social species, but it's certainly not limited to humans.
