An interesting video of chelonian conservation. Pelf, the woman heading this up, was one of the attendees of the conservation program I ran for 11 years while living on the east coast. That program I shared in one of the B-TFO posts http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/chelonian-history-iv.76245/ .

One of my needs is to feel like I am contributing to wildlife conservation. To me it's only wildlife if it's in the wild.
Lovely vid, Will.:)
What pretty creatures they are. (the turtles and the people).
A very, very belated welcome to the Cold Dark Room.
Sorry, i was AWOL at the time of your visit.
Anytime you feel like some custard and a brew, please grab an armadillo and relax.
And if you have any other nice videos about your person, please don't hesitate to post them here.
Some of us don't get out much. :(

Tidgy goes crazy in thunderstorms, races about and can't sleep. I have to stay up with the poor girl until it's blown over.
Elsa doesn't like thunderstorms either. Sometimes she seems to panic and just runs back and forth in one spot. Other times she is calmer: heads to the high ground in her enclosure and hunkers down close under the larger plants.

When she panics, I bring her inside.

Tidgy panics inside too!
She's okay at the moment but it is now raining, slightly.
I keep telling her it's okay and just her imagination.

Wow! She REALLY doesn't like thunderstorms! :( Once she's inside, Elsa just digs in somewhere and sleeps til it's over. :)

I let her roam the apartment or she'll flip herself. (I know, I know).
She rushes about , seemingly coming back to see if daddy and mummy are okay and then off again.
This can go on for hours til she falls asleep exhausted or the storm passes over.
This is only a little one and the thunder's stopped so i think we're fine. She's eating happily.:)

I'm calling a realtor this weekend to get my little house appraised. just to see what I could expect.
Kelly and I are toying with the idea of buying another, larger house a little further north of here. Less than an hours drive to and from work.(Much cheaper houses there.)
And then just moving my mother in with us.
I got a chill just writing that.


you are a saint sir

She was Demon possessed. I saw that woman fall down a flight of stairs. High on her medication. Smack into our front door and then fall backwards down another flight of stairs into the basement. I slowly got up out of my chair to check up on her. Just in time to meet her coming back up the staircase.
Not a scratch.


regan?? walking like a crab ? ;)
