Awwwww she is adorable! I'm so glad she arrived safely!

Tatooineboy · 03-18-2008, 07:08 AM

Me too! She is still in the same spot. Looking around a little bit, wigglings her front legs. I assume she is probably basking? I have her in the basking area since she was a bit cold when box was opened.

Coldliz · 03-18-2008, 07:19 AM

She will probably stay in that spot for a while, and just enjoy the heat. She is so tiny!

Tatooineboy · 03-18-2008, 07:21 AM

Probably. I dont know how long it takes them to get back to "regular" body heat to be fully active. She is probably nervous and a bit scared, too. And tired from the trip.

She moved a little bit. Those dark, little eyes of hers keep blinking as she looks about the place. hah, too cute!

Congrats what a cutie! Kelly should be home anytime now with her new little one, I just got back from meeting her. Smile

S/he is sooooooooo cute!!! Where did you get her from?

Tatooineboy · 03-18-2008, 08:18 AM

Thank you!

She crawls around a little bit, then curls into her shell, then repeats, lol. Cute to watch.

I got Tori from Trish & Robert from FL. Found it on turtleforum.

SHe is fabulous! Mine is doing the same thing... just sitting in the basking spot... tired out, I'm sure!!! I'm about to post pics of Dasani! Tori and Dasani will have to be soul sisters! Tongue

She is sweet ! congratulations

Tatooineboy · 03-18-2008, 02:13 PM

Thanks to all the friendly comments Smile

I went home on lunchbreak to check on her and she was eating away at the food I had left out earlier. So, I added some more dandelion greens so she can continue to munch Smile

So, thats a relief. I also took pictures of her eating, which I will post later.

I also gave her a 10 minute warm soaking and she drank Smile

All good signs.

Thanks again!
