Hello, Dan! Nice to “snap”chat with you

Haha I grew up fishing the Trinity river! Raphael isn't the biggest alligator snapping turtle out there.
Was running trot-lines and found one that had decided to eat the bait and got hooked. It snapped the wooden oar in two that we were using to keep him distracted while my husband cut the line as close to the hook as he could.
We estimate it's SCL to be a little over 4 feet. Caught 2 others that same day that were more the size of the one in the video.
We gathered up our lines and moved out of that area of river.
There are Giants in the rivers of Texas of all types. You just have to know where and how to find them!

Cute little one

Thank you[emoji1]

Thnx
He just comes to you
And sleep on you
Thats his habit
No matter how much heat or natural environment you provide
He always comes to us to sleep

Wow. If i put mine in my chest sometimes i do that to secure her while i an drying her from her soak and taking her back to her enclosure, she will try walk up to my neck. But she is never there long enough to actually test it. I should one day see what she does.

My cookie just starts to eat greeny leafs but in small amounts
He is doing great seems to be active
But sleeping ..View attachment 233060

He still looks sick. You can see it by the eyes of a tort. Keep him warm day and night and well hydrated. That is the best you can do for him.

Yayyyyyyyyyy. It is raining.View attachment 233066

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!

 

[CarolM]

I have a interview tomorrow
And i am fully nervous
Dont know what to do

Just be yourself. I always believe that is the best policy. Answer their questions with honesty and listen to their questions and try not to answer a question with more than what the question is actually asking for (if you know what i mean) and good luck.

I now know that it was the substrate which was very wet underneath. I think Mark was correct that everytime Rue drank water she would pee into the substrate. Because as soon as I put new substrate in, her poop started getting much better and firmer. But at the time I was really really panicking. Thank goodness for all the reassurances from here, it helped calm me down. I really don't know what I would do if I didn't have you guys to help. I love this place. Okay soppy stuff over now. Lol

Why ??? I love soppy stuff...

 

[CarolM]

Yeah
But i have a experience in other field
And i have a interview for other field
Dont know how i will perform

Be confident in yourself and you will do fine.

Here is a big Hug. On skype they have a bear for hugs emoji. I wish they would do one for other apps too.

Like this little cutie ?

 

[CarolM]

I will do the sculpture but the foundry does all the mold making and casting.

I can't wait to sèe the result ....

 

[Bee62]

Me too

I know. You are.

 

[Bee62]

Well done to your Mommy. For finding out what Sabines tort's name was.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.......

 

[Bee62]

My phone is slow tonight so I am waiting for it to download. [emoji22]

I know I upload "big" pics but that is one thing I like at TFO. You don`t have to minimize the pics before uploading them.

 

[CarolM]

Yaaaaay!!! We’ve been waiting for this the entire winter. Or summer. Confusing, as usual.
Very happy news!!

It is happy. News. It has stopped now but we are happy for every drop we can get

 

[Bee62]

Aaawwwwweeeee Shari is beautiful. I think you are doing a good job so far.

Thank you Carol. I will told her your kind words. The little girl ( or boy ) is sometime a little bit depressed.

 

[CarolM]

Hoooraaaaayyyyyyy!!!! It just needs to do that constantly for the next 6 months now. In the meantime the water rationing will continue for you

Yip rations continue but at least those with JoJo tanks. Can start. Filling them up

 

[CarolM]

Lol. Clever snapping aligatpr turtle
.

 

[Bee62]

Given the Cold War, it must have been very difficult. Or not. Depending on whether Sabine’s hometown was in West or East Germany. (But I’m straying into the political territory, again.)

West Germany ( of course ).
My tort was named after a singer Lena Valaitis. I am honest !
I loved the name, and now please read from which land she came !
