Morning is more work on shellys enclosure in store for today

Morning Laura
I'm going to wire up Shelly's condo today and test run it today.
If all goes well, Shelly will move in tomorrow. I will work on the other two condos once the other heat pads and thermostats come in.

Good morning, Noel.

The memorial ride went well. There were about 30 bikes. Two crashed. They were mostly young SQUID. (inexperienced riders doing stupid things)
Lots of drinking and rap music. Not my thing, but I needed to pay respect for the family.

I ended up ordering the Reptibator from ZooMed.
The Exo-Terra had too many bad reviews. In fact, almost all of them were bad.
I liked the stand up design with shelves, but the next, least expensive ones of that type are about $700.
I got the Reptibator for about $110 shipped to me.
I'm going to post a review as soon as I get it set up and transfer my eggs over to it.

Aah Chablis my all time favourite but a bit pricey for every day drinking. Always have a bottle on a Sunday though.

Yes, it's not cheap.
We often drink the local Moroccan wines, some of them are surprisingly good.

Curious about something:
On another post, a new member was deciding between a box turtle and a Hermans tortoise.
He will be keeping it indoors.
A box turtle is an omnivore and I know that the poo that they generate is very foul smelling.
Would a Hermans make a better indoor pet? That is if everything else were equal.
Does a Hermans tortoise smell not as badly because they are vegetarians?
This guy lives in a small apartment and is gone for days at a time. He might step out for the weekend and come home to quite a stink.
Any thoughts?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

So where is down South?

The south of Morocco, near the Souss valley, where there is a little place I know that has a small breeding colony of Testudo graeca soussensis.
Will check on them, as i hear some are beginning to emerge from hibernation and maybe do some fossil collecting further to the east.

Aah I will remember that if I ever find myself in Morocco! What's your trip down South for? Work? Pleasure ? Oh please do forgive me and tell me to butt out if I ask too many nosey questions!

It brings me back to that beautiful girl that I just couldn't date because her she and her home smelled of box turtle poo.

I see.
Hope you get the wiring done okay.
I'm sure Shelly is going to love it!

Not particularly.
I need a break and something to do to keep my mind off smoking.
I need to give up, the breathing problems are getting too much.

Good afternoon, John.
Been preparing for a trip down south this morning, i'll be leaving shortly, so please help look after the Cold Dark Room while I'm away.
Will be a few days, maybe a week to 9 days but need to be back for next Wednesday at the latest.
Coffee it is.

enjoy

Geez. I didn't know that you smoked.

Indeed.
Did you ask about the bike repair ?
Glad it went as well as it could, in the circumstances.

I didn't ask yet. But the bike is not in police impound. It's at their house.
