COLD DARK ROOM

It may be worth posting that in the Turtles threads too. Other turtle owners will have more experience of building enclosures and could help.

Yep, especially with the pumps since I know that some much stuff goes into them + they are a big investment.

It should make a huge difference to you. One of my 90 year old neighbours doesn't need specs anymore since having hers done.

Hmmm. I will need my specs for the other eye!
I could wear a monocle!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall, you are planning a great upgrade for your turtle and have done amazing job with research so far. Can't wait to see this all come together some day!

I think Zola is in the habit of wearing one. Or at least I can imagine him wearing one. @zolasmum

Yeah but the pond is a full enclosure that can be added onto if she grows after 7 years of being stunted by her previous owners, but yes it is outdoors

Lovely that you want to give her a better life. She's a lucky turtle.

My grandma had it done and she said that her life became brighter and more colorful. The change might be surprising, since you get so used to it. Though I wonder how you could become more colorful!

Maybe I'll be able to see ultra violet, like Tidgy!
Nah, you can't get more colourful than me.
It's all that dye.

I wonder, will it wash of or do you just embrace it?

Which Moroccan prison should we send any messages to?

Not a prison, thankfully!
Messages to be sent to the Fes Asylum For the Absurdly Deranged.

What about your partner in crime Tidgy?

Wash?
Me?
Nah.
Sixth year of drought here so I am helping conserve the water supply by never washing and only drinking foreign beer, wine and spirits.
I am a hero to the local environmentalists.

She looks so cute and innocent that they let her off.
The little minx!

Turtle lore time, My turtle was a person on the underground railroad to free painted turtles from slavery to the rich sulcata land owners. The land owners mended their ways and now are all the turts and torts are awesome yet judgy pets

Only a flat cap and a pipe usually, actually. Monocles are awkward on a tortoise shaped head !

Zola looks like he's part of the Italian Mob

Good evening everyone!

Two pieces of news both of my pupils passed their exams and also:

Sweet dreams Jacky:

Love

Natrah and Angel Daisy

 

[Myrna the RES]

Some album covers I made, I can make ones from your pictures if you send them

 

[zolasmum]

Congratulations Natrah - you must be a very good teacher to get your pupils through while you have been unwell yourself and under a lot of stress . I'm sure Daisy is proud of you and Jacky will be too when she wakes up.
Lots of love from Angie and Zola xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Welp that is annoying I could put in a screenshot

Put a spreadsheet in a screenshot! I think I need a bigger wrench!

Good morning all, I hope everyone is well.

Our calm, dry weather ended on Sunday, and today we have the first snow of the season. I don't think it will last long and it's not as bad as they've had further north, but the temps have really dropped. Lola is very wisely staying in his cosy hide and I think I'll be staying in mine.

I had my first appointment at the eye hospital last Friday but only for scans etc so no answers yet.

There's quite a few posts to catch up with so I'd better make a start. TTFN

We're supposed to have our first snow this coming Thursday and Friday. It's drizzly, and the temperature is dropping today so we had comfort food. Beefy gravy with mashed potatoes and salad. Sapphire tries to sleep this time of year as much as I'll let him. December he usually gets more active.
