Is that Storm Friederika? Are you affected? We have none so far. The southern edge of Denmark might be getting some though.
Thank you all for good wishes!
Yes, it is Friederika. We got some rough wind gusts after 10 am this morning up to now. Heard once the siren of the fire departement but my house and property had not been affected frim the storm as far I have seen. Also heard some noise in the near forest of falling trees. The heavy rain and now the storm let giant conifers tumble down like matches.
I shortly looked after my chicken and sheep and now I am happy to back inside the house.

Yes we do, or yes we can ( talk torts )
Good afternoon Adam.
Here are some torts that want to be talked about.:D They told me that they are bored !
What do you think about playing chess with them ? Do you think they are able to learn ?
I asked them for a bowling match, but they have too much fear that I could take them for a bowling ball ....

Of course they can learn chess.
Not sure about bowls, I'll see with Tidgy some time.
She's useless at cricket, though

Good afternoon, Roommates! :)
Very quiet in here this morning.
I'll be leaving at about 8 pm this evening, I should think.:D
About 6 hours time.
I have been busy all day setting up my new enclosure for baby. And running around. I swear I work harder when I am on holiday than when I am at work.
This is babies new enclosure. Please feel free to let me know any changes I should make.20180118_170308.jpg20180118_170334.jpg20180118_170342.jpg20180118_170348.jpg20180118_170357.jpg

I can see several problems, though.
Please post it to me and I will make the necessary corrections. ;)

If you have your UVB light sitting on the screen, the screen filters out quite a bit of the beneficial UVB.

I think it would be an interesting experiment to test the UVB with the light sitting directly on the screen and then again with the light up above the screen by a few inches. I'll bet more UVB makes it through the screen when the light is directly on the screen

Stay safe and warm. Have a nice cup of hot chocolate, snuggle up in a blanket and take a good book and read while you wait fir the storm to pass.

Actually i put a piece of wood above the screen and cut holes to run string through. The UVB is the only light in the cage. Had to do that to make sure it was the correct hight from substrate. It is a reptisun 5.0 and I put it at 30cm above substrate.1516294411068.jpg

Yes, I'm sure it wouldn't cost too much to post your enclosure to Morocco.
The I can make some adjustments and post it back again.
Though the adjustments may take several years........................
