COLD DARK ROOM
- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad
- Start date
I took a few pics at breakfast time because we had cloud cover.
Here’s my first RF Dusty I got as a hatchling from and old member who was a breeder about 6 yrs ago.
2nd RF Roxy I rescued from Petco! I watched him there for months eating fruit pebbles and badly pyramided.
3rd Sulcata Jackson I got as a small little guy. He is a good boy who is 40lbs now.
4th Desert tort Willow found next to our pool while bbqing. She was a tiny hatchling who I thought was a Sulcata until I picked her up. I found out 1yr later that our senior neighbors down the street have a pair of adults. So she either wondered off to our yard which is possible because I have found 2 other hatchlings in our road. One was squished and I buried it and the other my son found with his friend and we gave it back. We all live on 2 acre lots so it’s a long walk. Or a bird dropped her as a gift.
5th Desert tort Buddy who I just got from my sister last month. He is so sweet. It drives me crazy not knowing how old he is.

Good evening all. Sorry I haven't been able to give the CDR my full attention in the last couple of weeks. I am not sure much will change for the next couple, but I am trying to keep up.
Firstly, congratulations to South Africa's Kevin Anderson who is through to the final of Wimbledon after a marathon 5 setter that went to 26-24 in the fifth...and yes I did watch it; I now have the other semi on tv. A local hero for Carol
In between tennis we are trying to find accomodation for Son who starts his permanent post grad job at the end of this month. I was supposed to take him to the location this afternoon but the motorways were so completely stuffed that I took him to the train station instead and he went flat hunting alone.
I also have paperwork for yet another school governor meeting on Monday to complete... And for a pupil disciplinary on Thursday that requires working with a translator because the parents first language is not English and the teenage student concerned has been taking advantage of this. (I actually think the student may realise that everyone, including their parents, are on to them now!)
Tomorrow, JoesDad and I are going to see the England v India cricket one day international. After a few days relief, it has turned hot again here. My sister and Mum who live much further north have finally had rain today; I am jealous!
Have the tempers over at your other forum cooled off as well?
The only thing I know about cricket is they chirp at night in my backyard
LOL! My associations with cricket are forever tied to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — Krikkit Wars [emoji85]

What gorgeous torts you have there. You can see that they have been taken care of really well.
Since my sullies are getting bigger and bigger I have to go grocery shopping every third day. Seems I need urgent an extra fridge for all the tortoise lettuce !
They are eating me out of my house
Nah. As long as you don’t paint your house the color of lettuce...
My favorite flowers!
He's not doing to great. He had another stroke while in the hospital a few days ago. He's pretty much bed bound now. Physical therapy has to get him up to walk and even with help he can only manage a few steps. We are trying to get him placed in a good rehab but since he's thru the Veterans Association there's limited options. We're hoping he can walk and be somewhat mobile on his own again after some rehab. Most likely not going to be able to live by himself again. Me and my brother have been super busy trying to take care of things.
I love to cook with Wine and Rum....
Sometimes I even put it in the food

Here's a better pic of me and Murphy.

Oh shame. That is not good news. But by the sounds of it he is in good hands and you and your brother are doing everything that you can. I am holding thumbs that everything works out like you want it to and it gets better for you all.
You two look alike
Oh no. I know it’s stressful taking care of parents. Your dad is lucky to have you and your brother.

Whahaha. Murphy is looking good. You Your Majesty on the other hand look scared. Are your kingly duties too much by any chance. [emoji6]
My nephew took some and he will send them to me, but I won't be booking Lola in here any day soon
Oh oh. Doesn’t sound good
No. 2 is very interesting. No. 3 is gorgeous. The last one is hilarious! [emoji23]
