COLD DARK ROOM

[Bee62]

It's a beautiful, sunny day. Right now it's 40F outside (and 49F in here). It's forecast to be about 56F around 3p. And with the sun shining, as it is, the house will warm up inside a bit. With a sweat shirt and warm clothing it's manageable without starting a fire in the wood stove. Today I plan to run the sprayer and kill some weeds outside the fence. I might even run the mower if the sun dries the grass good enough.

All the torts are doing ok, but they'll be happier once the weather warms up. I'm ok, just lazy. Wish I could get my energy going. So much to do and I just waste away the day!

Hi Yvonne. 49 F inside the house ? That would be much too cold for me. In my house the living room and kitchen are cosy 72 F. I would not feel comfortable with 49 F. You ?
In Germany it is forbidden by law to run the mover on Sundays to protect the silence of Sundays. To my opinion a good thing.
Stay warm and healthy.

Nope they don't live here. But I do see a lot for sale online is why I ask.

I love the way they look.

Me too. They look like someone has painted lines and circles and more on their bodies and shell. Beautiful animal.

Actually at one time I loved the idea of having a big yard with several huge torts walking around grazing like reptilian elephants. I still love the idea but now also know the..... impracticality of it lol

I found a funny tortoise home. Unfortunately it isn`t a closed chamber.

Why impracticality ?

Why impracticality ?

Large quantities of food required, destructive tendencies, cost especially if you want big ones like I did lol

Thank you Dan for painting what will be my future so black !
With 4 sulcata tortoises I will end totally impoverished, with a destroyed house and garden......with nothing than lettuce in my huge fridge

I'm bringing chickens into CAR so you want have to worry. I'm thinking black silkies. For camouflage and softness. You can use one for a pillow and then eat it for breakfast!!!
