COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

May be going for a picnic with some of the family or it may become a BBQ - depends on the weather really.
But nothing academic for me today - or for the next 6 weeks!!

It's all academic really.
And so's the Cold Dark Room.
Hope the weather is good for you.

,,,,oops forgot the armadillos! A belated good morning to them too!

Hmmm.
i'm going to have to send someone out to find some ants.
Shouldn't be difficult, lots of ants here in Morocco.

I'll bring some back from the picnic if we go. They are always uninvited guests.

Don't bring back any wasps, please.
No wasp eaters in here.

Ok no wasps, and I'll leave the bumble bees to carry on doing what they do best with pollen and their furry legs!

what can I say

Getting a tad worried about spud.
Last night he burrowed in an unusual place (I thought nothing of it) and then this morning he got up and started to burrow under his cuttlebone...
And then under the rock.

He never burrows when lights are on.
I'm getting worried

Could he be too warm? I'm sure I've read they burrow to cool down

Maybe someone may fancy some waspberry ice cream !

It's actually quite cool, I just turned the lights in so it was only around 27 degrees in the hot spot

I just cleaned his enclosure and put thick, fresh peat and he let out the biggest poop I've ever seen!
However, it was rather green and soft. (Sorry for the details lol)

He is eating his breakfast now

Hero of Alexandria made a steam powered ball called the aiol

Ok no wasps, and I'll leave the bumble bees to carry on doing what they do best with pollen and their furry legs!

Bumble bees are most welcome.
I like bumble bees.

Hello and welcome to my Cold Dark Room where we can sit about and be punny.
Grab a nice dry corner and have a coffee, or a cornetto.
And have 2 pts to begin.

I think torts get more confident as they get older and start to test themselves by climbing and digging more.
Tidgy has been doing a lot of digging this summer, maybe the heat, maybe practice for eggs, I don't think it's anything to worry about.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Just one....?

Yeah, like the ad.
"Just one Cornetto.
Give it to me."
" Not flipping likely,
They're two fifty."

Morning.
And morning Spud.

Morning
And morning Tidgy.

It was mint flavour
