Yes, I did. It was a box tortoise. So not like huge, or anything, but you generally don't want to see a rodent that size. ;) I spotted it coming through the doorway out of the corner of my eye, it was brown and roughly the same size as the turtle, so that's what I assumed it was. I nearly had a heart attack when I turned to look at it.

I left the house. Ha! We went and got rat traps, and it got caught in one the next morning. The husband said it's body (excluding the tail) was as long as his foot. I refused to look at it dead. Alive was bad enough.
