Aren't we all

Well this fella had a close call, another 4 inches and he would have been ran over in my driveway! Quite the angry pedestrian, he attempted to bite me several times. Definitely not the same adult as this one has bolder facial markings and is clearly a male. He was escorted out of the driveway.

Love his work ?

He has two that aren't fully grown in yet.

Go right ahead. I won't tell Grim, he might get a big head about it.

Hello all. Hope everyone is doing good. Grim says hi too.

Pretty positive it was a female. After taking the pictures, I put her back where I found her. She got in there, I'm sure she will find her way out.

Well, there has to be a pond nearby that I can't see... Found this lady in my zucchini bed.

I kept the little fella overnight to make sure he hadn't been adversely affect by the mites that were on him. It rained quite a bit yesterday and I took him to the back of my property where I found a spot where water seemed to be sitting slightly. I figure there are plenty of snails and slugs...

Hmm never made an in ground pond before. Only patio ponds and fish tanks... Anybody got some advice or links to some good reading material?

I don't fault him for it at all! Gosh, the number of times I have seen him identify a tort or turtle with only a halfa## picture are more than I can count. I bet he is laughing right along with everyone, being a good sport ?

That would be interesting! Yvonne may explode too. Someone new to the forum may get misled though.

I honestly don't know if there is any ponds really close by, lots of pine plantations. About a 1/2 mile away it opens up into cattle pastures, with lots of scattered ponds. Do you think that would be to far?

I'm not sure they were actually coming up the drainage. It it only a two or three inch opening, I don't know if a full grown mud turtle could shimmy through that.

That would be great but unfortunately I don't have a lot of faith in anyone coming out and doing anything like that in my area? perhaps if they were a threatened or endangered species but from what I've read they are considered common

Love the leopard geckos! I got a lil female who is in the 16-17 years old range. I know one day she will pass away... But I will have to get another when that day comes.

I feel bad that these guys have lost their habitat because of us moving back. My husband has suggested we put a small pond in to try and replace what they lost. Do you think that they may benefit from us building a small pond? Or just hope they find another place?

Well that's kinda the issue I'm having. Let me explain.. After moving back from wa state we discovered that the drainage area of our backyard had gotten clogged, basically turning it into a swamp. These guys must have been layed shortly before we moved back. We removed the debris and it is now...

Ah yes, I can even market it as a rare color mutation, the orange bellied Aldabra?

What should I do with it?
