Lol. Maybe it was a love bite?
Maybe... I wonder if he knows what OUCH! means now... ;)

I sort of got him back at the end of his soak, though... I got out the calipers for an accurate SCL measurement. That little stinker is getting less little. Bold is now 1 and 11/16 inches. Just about 1.75 inches.

I didn't use the calipers on Pinstripe, who is still a very tiny turtle. I'm beginning to see a little more margin between Pinstripe's scutes. Still, Bold is at least a half inch longer than Pinstripe, and possibly close to that much wider, too.

You know Carol, we'd be happy to send you some rain, but the shipping is a bit prohibitive... Water is heavy! :D

I guess we could just make her add deuterium on receipt.

Heavy water (deuterium oxide, 2H2O, D2O)
is a form of water that contains a larger than normal amount of the hydrogen isotope deuterium (2
H or D, also known as heavy hydrogen), rather than the common hydrogen-1isotope (1
H or H, also called protium) that makes up most of the hydrogen in normal water.[4] The presence of deuterium gives the chemical different nuclear properties, and the increase of mass gives it different physical and chemical properties compared to normal "light water".

Yeah... I don't think that's going to fly too well on the Customs declaration! :D :p

I bought this for my large manouria on the evenings when she wouldn't go home as she was supposed to:

I'm grateful that Misty isn't the least bit affected by fireworks or shotguns on Sept. 1st (dove season).

As you should be!!! EVERYTHING I got around here are big fat CHICKENS!!! I’m still bitter as I just got through settling my lard asses in the laundry room again [emoji23] bathing them KILLS MY BACK! My old lab Duke has got to be pushing 160!!! They are both so fat that they have butt rolls now!!! Guess that’s what retirement does to you! Also jacketed my horses and stalled them for the night. People are still continuing with the fireworks.
