I bought a sample of a substance I found under the carpeting in the last bedroom near the wall area to a buddy here at work that is the counties premier pest control person.
I thought for sure it was termites.
Turns out it is sand from ants that had made their way at some time in the past through a crack somewhere in the cement foundation.
Thank GOD.

Splendiferously splendid.
Had fun while Tidgy was being naughty this morning.
Then managed to get the mosquito netting redone on most of the windows.
Bit of palaeontology.
A productive day!:)
How's you ?
Sounds productive!
Well this morning I was getting the humidity for Luie inclosure up then went out and got me coffee~
Now I'm just looking through the forum

Tidgy has decided not to hibernate.
Today she has been a menace instead.
I took her out for some sun on the terrace while I was doing some work in the lab, but she decided to join me.
First she tried to chew some paintwork.
Then she played weightlifting with a heavy clothes rack (used as a lamp holder for a UVB) . She is so incredibly strong.
Then she knocked over a large ammonite garden ornament and climbed into a box i was working with and ripped a hole in the protective lining.
She threw coco coir all over the place and kept stomping all over the work i was doing demanding a head rub.
This is all because i gave her a bit of a beak trim last night.
She was not happy.
Evening al,l
I think Lola has decided that he wants to hibernate and has been driving me mad with worry this week.
I thought everything would be fine after the massive poop on Tuesday but the last two days he hasn't moved from his hide all day and all food left untouched. which has given me a heart attack when I've arrived home each time.
I have soaked him as soon as I got home and after that he is alert and does eat and looks for food, but can't think what's going on.
It's colder outside and the it's darker earlier but everything else the same.
He's a mystery to me at the moment.
Definitely vets tomorrow I think.

Evening, Lyn.
Send him our love and tell him to stop being silly.
Perhaps he got used to having you around at half term and is sulking now you're out in the day, again.
Tidgy sulks when i'm not about.
Funny things, torts, but I sincerely hope and believe it will be fine.
