Hello!!

Goeie Middag!

 

[CarolM]

I guess lol. I've been posting a lot of pics of my torts and turtles on FB lately and I guess she seen one somewhere. The problem with starting a rescue is I wanna keep them all! Lol

I would feel the same. By the looks of it your outside pond is going to need to get bigger if and when you build one.

Im still trying to get around to that. I actually bought the 300 gallon stock tank just haven't set it up yet. I'm thinking I'm going to set it up in my basement so I can keep them up for the winter.

Good idea. But probably a lot more work involved. Are all of the turtles you have the same species?

No, but they are all native species that live together in the wild naturally. The new one will be quarantined for at least a month. My plan is to move the 4 juveniles into the stock tank. Then Snap, Spud, and the new one who came with the name "Shelly" will move into the 75 gallon the juveniles currently live in for a year or so.

I love my stock tank!! It’s so durable and inexpensive to buy.

It’s Sully soaking morning. Tub is full of nice warm water. Ive lugged my 70 lb rock upstairs and plopped him into a nice bath. A good long head dunk, and now floating in the spa. Time to rest my backin preps for the reverse process. Problem is that a slippery Sully easily slides south. I have gravity on my side, it’s all down hill.

Hahahaaa, your description of Sully taking a bath is so funny ! You need a Sully-Lift !

Good evening my friends all over the world, ähh in the cold and dark room.
I`ve found a new tortoise specie: A Lady tortoise with high heels.

Hello all. Well, we are about to be in for a few rough days here. Snow, and more snow, and more snow, and well you get the picture. We are supposed to get anywhere from 9 to 12 inches Saturday and Sunday. I will be hibernating in my Sally’s room! It is 85 in there! All my babies are growing well including the new hatchlings. They have gained weight! And look bigger already. My one sullybaby, Dozer, should be topping 200 grams this Monday. We will see what the weekend brings!

I'm so glad i have my little Horseinthefield. I've loved a big tortoise too. That's why I had to have a tortoise One way or another.

OhLORD!!!! This sounds treacherous.... we have to engineer you a better soak solution on ground level!!! In the meantime, I’d luv to see a lounging Sully pic

P.S. Do you know that Russians rarely use “h” in foreign names, so the perfectly fine German name Hans in Russian is pronounced as Gans (NB—goose in German) [emoji849][emoji849][emoji23]

English and Russian also. What I'd really love to know is how we manage to communicate on tortoise forum. I've never liked digital translators before because they don't translate correctly. But we are all sharing still...how nice

I have arrived home early from work to a gorgeous Sunny day with 73F temp.. it’s deceiving because Saturday we are supposed to drop into a hard freeze.. But in the mean time, I ran straight inside and brought all my Sullies out to enjoy some rays!!!!
Just don’t judge the messy and dry enclosures... They haven’t gotten much use lately
