COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Daughter started her job with the ecology consultancy last week. It fits round her job at the filling station.

Last week they put out squares of roof felt at regular intervals for the reptiles to hide under and bask on.

Yesterday a "reptile fence" went up to prevent new ones moving in.

Today she did her first patrol looking for reptiles to move to a new home. She wasn't expecting much as the weather hasn't been great, but ...

A juvenile slow worm (a legless lizard) about 15cm/6" long put in an appearance

And now has a new home safely away from the building work due to start there this summer. All British reptiles are scarce

Here it is moving in

I love slow worms.
Used to keep them as a teenager.
My favourite was called Ron.
His female was Veronica.
And I had Aaron from the island of Flatholm in the Bristol Channel who was a blue colour.

Good morning!!
My pool guy might join the forum. He found a Greek tortoise and I'm trying to help him get started.
He fed him romaine and apples.
I gave him some seeds to plant and a few ideas.

Not sure if this a Greek but the guy at the reptile store told him "Sulcata!" Even I knew that was wrong. Maybe Russian?

Lovely fellow!
A Moroccan greek, I think, chance of a plastron shot ?

And today daughter had a Yellow Necked Mouse in the mammal trap that I was able to photograph for her.

He was squeaking obscenities at us. He definitely didn't appreciate his contribution to local small mammal research

What a lovely fellow.
Not familiar with this species.
So just read up on it.

Attempts to lure @Tidgy's Dad with a cheese-related story from the programme

Are you going to come say hello Adam? We miss you.

Thanks.
It's obvious that cheese is more important than sport.
Points.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

i haven't emailed him, im going on him being on a mission and do not wish to distract...

i have a funny feeling he still checks in on us though

Thanks.
but I don't think i popped in at all from the end of March.
Sorry.

wifey ate all the veggies.
So Tidgy's on sausages, mostly.

Poor Tidgy ! I`ll call the "Tortoise Voice against Fastfood for Tortoises" to save poor Tidgy.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

i got 2

one for ed, one for our dark lord...


and one for the little boy who lives down the lane

Very pretty.
But of no use to me.
Put it towards something for Jade or Fido or the degus.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I hope he's OK but bet he's busy in his lab with his fossils after his trip.
He has to take a break to catch up with writing his papers occasionally.
He'll be back when he has time.

Yup.
Lots of work done.
Happy.
Back now.
(I'm happy and back on the forum, not got a happy back. )

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning, Yvonne.
Happy days are here again.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Poor Tidgy ! I`ll call the "Tortoise Voice against Fastfood for Tortoises" to save poor Tidgy.

Normally, I would NEVER feed Tidgy sausages.
They are mine!
But I have run out of bacon, so Tidgy must make do and I must share .

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

our friends and neighbors, they look after our zoo when we're away... got to keep em happy!


no complaints here other than missing mr adam

how is miss womblyn???

Also missing Adam is my guess.
Ahem.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Not too bad thanks John, can't complain - well I could - how long have you got??

Oh.

 

[Yvonne G]

Good morning, Yvonne.
Happy days are here again.

That's good. . . I'm happy you and your back are happy.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

That's good. . . I'm happy you and your back are happy.

Hope you had a nice birthday.

Bacon ? I thought you only live on cheese the whole day long.
Do Tidgy like cheese ? The one that smells like an old poop?
I think she`ll like it.....

I eat many things.
Mainly with cheese.
Tidgy would, i am certain, love cheese, but i would never let her let her eat any on health grounds.
i'm trying to convince wifey it's bad for her, but she eats it anyway.
Boooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Nellys door in and out!

Wonderful!
Top banana.
