COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Yes ! It is fixed in my brain.
A tortoise for Lena in the the next TORTOISE and the sign she could buy by herself.
Which tortoise you would prefer ? A cute little greek tortoise or two like these ones ? ( they are my ones )

ADAM ! @Tidgy's Dad
Lena must be my next TORTOISE partner.

Your Hermanns are very cute! I might go with a Greek though, someone to remind me of Kristoff or Elsa...
I should be your TORTOISE in a couple of years, when my place of residence (including the country) becomes clear

New pics, taken today of growing dinosaurs in my house:

Negra my redfoot yellowhead tortoise:





Look at these red scales on her feet and butt. Like the feet and butt are burning ! The German name of the tortoise is "Köhler Schildkröte" because these red scales look like glowing coal. And the "Köhler" in German is the charcoal maker.

Sorry! I wanted to cough into a pillow but it felt too wool-y and I threw it away. Then I tried to find another one, but grabbed a hedgehog instead. Ouch, ouch! My fingers still hurt...

Hopefully only your fingers. Imagine you have put the hedgehog into your face ! Ouch .....
Poor Lena.

Those Shells are absolutely beautiful....

Hello my dear. I hope your cought is getting better. I couldn`t sleep last night because I have heard you coughing all the time. I tried to put one of the penguins over my ears but the silly bird pooped on my head. So I was awake cleaning myself and couldn`t fall asleep again because of your coughing noise.

Here is a lullaby for you tonight Sabine. To help you sleep better.:

Good afternoon Carol.
I have made a song for you

Ummm, Sabine, I will never leave you and I certainly don't think you are a fool. It is a lovely song and made me smile.

Poor Lena.

I would rather not imagine that!

Somebody likes a neck rub!

 

[CarolM]

Urrrghhhh, they are very big. I have no fear of spiders but this one I would not have in my house or in my neck !
Do they bite ?

I read a bit about this spiders. Interesting, big but not dangerous when you are no lizard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palystes_superciliosus

No they don't bite as far as I know, but I still don't like them. Gives me the hibbbyy jeeebbbies. But I do believe that everything has it's place, that is why I leave them alone in the garden. In the house......well that is a different story, as that is MY territory.

Thank you Carol.

Here is a lullaby for you tonight Sabine. To help you sleep better.:

Thank you, but the video is soo sad ...... Sniiiffff, sniiiiiffffff Now you make me cry

 

[Bee62]

Ummm, Sabine, I will never leave you and I certainly don't think you are a fool. It is a lovely song and made me smile.

It makes me happy that you will never leave me ! Making people smile is one thing I love to do ...

So beautiful. But your other torts shells are much smoother. Why is that? And I see the tell tail evidence of the meal worm. I fed three to little Rue once and then her eating slowed down and I had the problem with her poop (which I think was the substrate) but have been too scared to give her any again. I should try one or two again with her, as she really liked it. And don't worry I know it is a treat only be given once in a Blue Moon. Is the Moon Blue yet?

I love looking at Lena and Lenus. @Kristoff - you have a tort named after you. Yayy

Hmm, that is Leo, the only one that allows me to rub his neck and touch him. If he really enjoys it I can`t say. He often walks away that I can "disturb" him any longer.
The two others, Matilda and Valentine are still a little bit shy and hissing and retracting into their shell when I try to touch them. They act like little girls ( hopefully they are ) and Leo acts like a curious, brave boy ( hopefully he is one )

Wow, You are a good Tort Mom. Your torts are so well looked after.

 

[CarolM]

I would rather not imagine that!

OMG. Just the thought makes me hurt.

 

[CarolM]

Thank you Carol.

Thank you, but the video is soo sad ...... Sniiiffff, sniiiiiffffff Now you make me cry

Oh no. Don't cry. Just listen to the song when you go to sleep tonight.

I thought so too, and was very proud, but turns out it’s not after me at all.
