COLD DARK ROOM

[DE42]

So are your turtles then all wild and in your back garden so to speak? That must be so cool to be able to observe them in their natural habitats. And you don't need to worry about doing anything wrong in your husbandry.

I do not have any as pets right now no. We gave had a few snappers in the fish pond that we took back to the river. I did have a baby one of those I kept for a month or so before I turned it back into the wild. It still had an egg tooth when I found him. Only seen the though. He was stuck in my small koi pond and could not get out.

I do see box turtles often. As a kid I would catch them and bring them to my house and turn lose in our swamp. I don't do that anymore lol. But I do move them across the road when I see one stuck in the middle from time to time. There are sadly becoming fewer and fewer as years go by. I think the population is dwindling due to the increasing coyote population as well as road traffic.

The sliders I always see at the walking trail it town. I've even watched one laying eggs in the bank there once. That was cool.

The soft shells I mainly fund on the end of a fish hook unfortunately. Most I believe live after being accidently caught but there are a few that I know did not.

Oh that is so interesting and so sad re the fish hook thing. But you are lucky that you get to see so many varieties. Really awesome.

Well done on the dent. It is somewhere to start. After a few more dents it will look like a work of art.

Also listening to John Denver (I think Sabine got me going with that) watching my tort and sleeping. It is now 08.23 in the morning here and a Saturday. So my time is my own for a while. I will be getting some seeds to grow for baby and most probably also go to the beach with the family for some sunshine and fun. [emoji1] what are your plans when you wake up?

I have never been in weather in the - numbers. So I can't really comment. I have stood in a -60 freezer though and it was not pleasant but then I also wasn't really dressed for the occasion either.

Good night and sleep tight.
