Was feeding Tesla her usual morning soaked herbal hay and zoomed pellets, when I noticed something weird in the soaking dish... A little shelled bonus! (It’s completely dead and empty and I doubt it would’ve done Tesla any harm if she’d eaten it, it just made me lol!)

Yesterday I knocked together an egg crate basking platform for my friend’s slider turtle just for kicks and giggles, and was amazed at how easy it was to make- done in like 20 minutes, in a small apartment with no power tools and minimal mess. So I was wondering, is there any reason I...
