I put a couple of Christmas decor in Finn's tank and he took to them rather quickly. In fact, yesterday I caught him sitting on Santa's lap! Guess he wanted to get an early start on those Christmas wishes!! By the way, he was less than 2 gm when I got him and those of you who have followed me...

It seems to be a constant problem that these artificial plants in Finn's tank seem to come apart and end up floating in the water. To repair them, I have used silicone glue before which takes time to set but I was wondering if using hot glue would be safe since it is a more instant solution...

I just received a new 3-striped mud turtle yesterday, UPS, from Floriday overnight to Tennessee. When he arrived, I put him in a small bowl with warm water and offered him some food. He was starving, it seemed and ate pellets and blood worms. After about a half-hour, I put him in his new tank...
