Hello! This is my go-to place when I have a question about my Russian. Digger and I have been doing so well that there have not been any questions. However, ther is now a new development: Digger has grown a pointed "claw" at the end of his tail. It reminds me of the stinger at the end of a scorpion tail. I was just wondering what this means. Does it signify a turning point in his life cycle? OR something else - ? ? ? He is eating well, we relate to each other, he has an outdoor habitat and an indoor enclosure. He loves a good bath and eats a variety of foods. He is bright eyed, growing and his shell is good. He is asleep for the night so I will get a picture of the "claw" tomorrow. Meanwhile, say "hello" to Digger.
