Good morning everyone. Went to a feeding, petting zoo. They had a redfoot,5 sulcata's and some turtles. Also a 50lb snapping turtle. The sullies were rescued but are not being cared for properly there. I had a few stern words with the manager. We looked over the area and I gave some suggestions on how to make the enclosures bigger. (But not much bigger). Suggested a different substrate, landscape and a sprinkler system. They have everything there. I also told them I would pay for it. They were feeding them at 2:30 but we had plans so I couldn't be there.

Always the same: Kept to dry when they were younger

Look who came to say hello this morning, my emerald crab. Just after a fresh molt l, she is very active which is very unusual but not unheard of. She is double the size now and has regrown one of her legs that was missing when I got her.

Emerald crabs are marine animals and still need special salt in the water. Unlike the red claw crabs who are semi-aquatic, she needs to spend all her time under water. Usually, you have to have a well established marine tank before putting in an emerald crab, this leaves time for algae to grow which makes up most of the crabs diet. I experimented and cut out the middle man by placing rocks from my friends well established marine tank. They are covered in algae.

I haven’t heard of many people doing this before so I was excited about doing it. So far, I’ve had her for 6 months and she’s moulted 3 times.

That is freaky. Just imagine if humans could do that was well.

Regrowing teeth like a shark would be very helpful.... LOL !

Some wildflowers from this morning's dog walk. Thought I would brighten up the coat dark room with some nice flowers.

I hope everyone is having a good day today. View attachment 276523 View attachment 276524 View attachment 276525

My favorite beauties ! ( besides my own of course)
Do their vivid shell colors fade as they get older or do some just look differently?

I think they do fade somewhat. But I am not sure about ones who are kept indoors. I suspect mine have bolder colours because they have not been in the sun as much.

I hate maths in school too. But I loved English !

My least favorite subject in school was History, but I LOVE IT, now.

Preferences can change when you are getting older but I`ll never make friends with school maths !

Well, no yard work today. This is laundry day and plant watering day. Plus, I still have 5 large, heavy potted plants to bring out of the greenhouse. I think I'll try to do that before I water.

I'm so glad I don't live in Arizona. It was 104F here yesterday and my evaporative cooler wasn't working well, so I had to run the A/C unit. It's SO expensive to run that I really try to limit its use. My son-in-law came over last night and unplugged the holes on the cooler, so it's working fine once again. Supposed to be triple digit weather again today and for the next day or two. If I lived in Arizona I'd NEVER be outside in the summer. That's just too danged hot for this old body!!

How do they live in such heat?

I couldn't stand those temps!
Have you seen these personal space coolers and humidifiers?
They just use water (and electricity obviously)

Isn't there anywhere nearer you could see it?

That was an intense Tennis match!

It sure was!
Can't believe how long it was - I was cheering for Federer.
They must both have been exhausted!
