COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

We were up at 5.30am to ship our kids out

This match started at 11am for us.

And now France has scored...

Are Wales playing this year?

 

[Lyn W]

I think I found Snap a friend this morning

Might of found Snap a Tankmate this morning too

They are lovely but are you allowed to take them from the wild or are they captive bred?
And will they not fight in a small space?

 

[Lyn W]

It’s all going rather well

England 12-0 up after 14 minutes

I had better shut up before Carol gets cross with me

Is there rugby on as well now?

 

[Lyn W]

Gee wizz. You'd think being grown men they would know how to conduct themselves.

They may be grown but very few are grown up!!!

I only kept the first one. I released the second one at a lake in a nearby park, he was a little bigger and stood more of a chance I think. They both were found at a guy I knows place who takes unwanted turtles and tortoises from people. He has 4 small ponds with literally 100's of turtles. That's the only reason I kept him because I knew he was from a captive collection.

What was Owen Farrell thinking? Why not just kick the penalty?!

As expected England threw away their lead... Springboks 13- England 12

Oh - there is rugby on as well!
I must try to keep up!!

Hey all. It’s hot and humid and plants and reptiles like Sulcatas are loving it. Wanted to share a few pix of our fig trees, banana tree, and one corner of the perennial garden. You can see the red topped Monarda popping through. Usually the deer come by about now and snip everything. Hummingbirds love it.

One full pix, the rest in thumb nails...

Have a great day everybody and good luck on your matches I'm going to spend the day with my father, he just finished his last chemotherapy treatment and all is looking well, so this year's a special one. I'll leave you with a picture of my morning coffee view.

Lovely I bet you have lots of birds and wildlife visiting you there.

I have a hedgehog house in my garden which I was given by my family for Christmas and today I finally found a hedgehog snoozing in it [emoji177]

I've got quite a few figs coming thru this year too, and my pear tree is doing good as well. I've got 2 big pecan trees but I've never got any. The squirrels take em before they fall!

Lovely I bet you have lots of birds and wildlife visiting you there.

Yes you name it, I've seen it in my yard. Deer, rabbits, coyotes, raccoons, opossums, I've even seen a bear from time to time.

 

[Lyn W]

Definitely not a problem bird. I love seeing them

They are beautiful. I love watching all birds.
It's very sad that they have given permission for the shooting of ravens in England.
They are such intelligent birds - let's hope they're bright enough to avoid the guns.

Wow - the most exciting things I've seen in my garden lately are a common frog and a scarlet tiger moth!

 

[Lyn W]

Do you think it would be safe to store them in the CDR storage room? What with the meerkats, the One legged Pirate and the Leprechaun causing nonsense. You just might go back to corner 6 and find that you will need to go looking for them in another corner.

....................or they may be on ebay!

 

[Lyn W]

What torts do you all have?
I myself have a 7 year old Hermanns (male) named Merlin.

H James,
I'm Lyn from Wales and my tortoise is a male leopard called Lola
- age unknown as he was found in a field, but possibly 6-8 years old.

Just love how green everything is!!
Here’s part of my brown backyard!!
California is just dry!!

 

[Momof4]

I planted an avocado seed and found this little guy when I got back from my trip!

 

[Lyn W]

Ok. HOT and HUMID here today. Our Sully is loving it. Sully has been out grazing, wandering, drinking, bsthing, basking, and more.... it’s just so hot and humid!

I uploaded a few additional photos under the Sulcata thread that I have been keepin since Sully arrived..

Here’s one of the pix...

Now why won't my leopard do all that?
He hates being outside.
I found him basking in a patch of sunlight in his room on Sunday but he wouldn't stay out in it in his garden!
He's a very strange tortoise!!!!

 

[Lyn W]

Life is not good right now. I'm broke, have mold and water under the house that needs cleaned and fixed, $1000s in doctor bills.
I'm having to consider selling most of what I have.
Worrk is also pushing for me to leave. I've been in the office with three of my superiors and them telling me they don't know why I'm hear and need to be on disability.

I know right now I also can't physically do a lot of jobs. Including what I've been in school for.

I feel like I'm going to lose everything again.

Hope things have been better for you since you posted this Dan.

Hey there I'm Todd I live close to Atlanta GA. I have a Redfoot Tortoise named Murphy. I got him this past January. I'm not sure how old he is he was a little bigger than 4" when I got him.
