I have had them only twice get into the enclosures. The one time, I placed a board so the possum could climb out as he couldn't figure out how to get over the wire lip. the other one was in the sauna/hot tub we have buried and it must not have figured out how to get out and drowned. It went in for a drink I am sure, no turtles were out at that time.

Thanks for the info. That comfort me a little. I just like be safe. Maybe I'm over reacted.

Can I blame my wife?? she insisted to remove any possible threat to our torts.

I know.........I know..............................:(

Well Steven let me tell you how a country boy deals with the over grown rat! I have a 22 with a 75 round clip . It has a night vision scope on it . I shoot maybe 8 a year along with the stinking raccoons . The opossums I take to a pond with gators in it . The raccoons a Spanish friend loves to eat them . So they don't come back . They have all kinds of nastiness in them .

We had a gloomy, rainy day today. Weather wise I was happy. But no outside tortoises were out and about to greet me when I came home, (insert frown face here). I like seeing them and had yet to realize how much I'd be missing them this fall/winter.

The weather was nice here around Houston . But I worked my butt off today . We are short handed and I did what I do best fixing motor controls .

THE twins are here!
We haven't been on in forever. Have we missed anything?
Update....Robert and I are having a competition to see who can get ripped faster. It's not really fair for him, but I like winning so I'm gonna take what I can get!
We are getting a new tort on the 30th!
We probably won't be back for a while(We promise we won't pull a Tiff;)), so just a heads up to everybody.
Sage and Robert

Of the two ways, I prefer the humane way of killing them over trying to relocate them. Relocation may give somebody else your problem and can be cruel in the long run to the animal trying to survive in a new and hostile environment.
