COLD DARK ROOM

[Moozillion]

Today Jacques is resting UNDER her basking platform where she is held up by the plastic plants. She very easily sticks her head out to breathe and look around. I think she is still settling in, and she's not begging for food, so I'm not offering her anything today. I'm just going to let her rest and relax. Even though her hospitalization was stressful for me, I imagine it was even MORE stressful for HER since she had NO IDEA what was going on- and felt bad, too.

Hi, Raqib!
I'm so glad you rescued those little guys!!!!!
Yes, your thoughts are right: he belongs in the sea.
ALL the sea turtles get REALLY BIG- far bigger than any pet turtles. And he needs to be in sea water, which is salty, but it MUST be the CORRECT amount of salt.
I have never heard of anyone keeping sea turtles as pets because it is illegal to have them here in America. The reason for that is that they are endangered- there are fewer and fewer of them.
If they don't get back in the sea, they will die. They may die slowly, but they will die.

You have a good heart for wanting to rescue them!!!!

Hey! [emoji4]
Thanks
Yes you are right. They are illegal here too. But I think they sell them in black or I dont know how they get those. May be from Hawksbay (a beach here) where thousand of sea turtles come and lay eggs. May be they get these from their and supply them. Here even for tortoise license needed but due to non implementation of law people keep tortoises, sea turtles, snakes, and other animals, reptiles etc.

But now a days I heard wild life members are active. As they know about people selling turtles, tortoises they fine them and even sometimes jail custody for selling them.

If I have a vet of turtles available here, I will surely go to him for check up of my little sea turtle if he would say he is fine and good I will release him at sea side so he would enjoy his independent life. I am so sad when I sea those little hatchlings moving towards sea from land where they hatched to live their own independent life and people get them and the one who should live in sea, ocean is kept in a very small glass tank.[emoji22]

She will be fine in few days[emoji4]. May be its because of change of environment. I don't know very much so I will not say [emoji23][emoji23]

 

[Raqib Farid]

Since he is so small, he only hatched a short time ago. I doubt he has any infections because the inside of the egg is sterile.

Really? Then I will release him. I will try to visit sea side soon.[emoji4]

This is my parrot. And I have this since 2003 or 2004.
It speaks our language.
Love him so much [emoji173]View attachment 229798

A beautiful bird!
Does he get to fly around the house?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

This is my red eared slipper turtle. Bought it about 2 or 3 weeks ago before my toothless (Russian tortoise)View attachment 229799

Very pretty.
What's the set up like?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

And this one is Sea turtle.
Bought it about 1 month ago.

But in all these 3 turtles/tortoise my favorite is Russian tortoise baby (toothless)View attachment 229800
Edit: parrot has its own worth. Cant compare him with any other. [emoji173]

I'm not sure this is right? ? ?
How on earth are you keeping this happy and healthy?
I'm not sure people should own these sea turtles without a lot of experience and a huge amount of space.
It is lovely, though.

I knew there was something fishy about your motto!

Nope. They are not loyal. So I don't open him. But sometimes I close my room doors and release him so he flies in the room. [emoji173]

I will release him or give it to wild life or in zoo or any other place where he can survive or can live a good happy life instead of selling him to any other person who will keep him in few inches tank. But don't want to release him in sea. Cause if he will sick that time of releasing (And here no vet is available for turtles/tortoises) than releasing him in sea side will infect all other turtles and sea creatures too. So I don't know what to do with him. Cause I can't provide him so much space for swim.

Yeah I can’t imagine how much space they need but that’s really neat that you have a sea turtle lol I think they’re incredible!

 

[Raqib Farid]

What's the set up like?

Right now not a good setup. Just enough water that is double to his height. And an area for baking. He doesn't eat meat. All he is eating are leaves.

I told why I bought him. And I strongly agree with you. And I'm sure he is not happy. But the reason why I bought him I told.

Yeah. They are incredible.

 

[Yvonne G]

A sea turtle ? It will grow very big. Can sea turtles be kept in a tank ?

No, it needs salt water.

Good morning, roommates!
Finally checking in properly. Daughter is back at school, and I had my yoga lesson earlier. The sun is shining. Planning to have another cup of coffee. Should probably do some work too, but as a Russian saying goes, “Work is not a wolf — it won’t run away into the woods.”

Nice saying.
Good afternoon, Lena.
Yoga seems to be "the Thing" in the Cold Dark Room just now.
I'll have to give it a try. Sure I've got a book, somewhere..............

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I’d like to show off. A year (or two?) ago I took a picture of my girl’s three generations — only hands. The place where we lived in Turkey is famous for its tangerines. A week ago I was given a gift code from a printing company to test their product. So, arriving today, is that special picture, on an aluminum sheet. I like!

Beautiful! ! !
What an heirloom that will become .
And the name tangerine come from Tanger, Morocco.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Do you know all dinosaurs with their names ???

No.
There are lots, and it's not my specialist area.
I know a lot, but far from all and they are constantly finding new ones and renaming old ones.
It's very confusing.
Good afternoon, Sabine!

A "real" man needs no hair:
Telly Savalas alias Kojak.

He was the "dream" of a million women.

I have been the nightmare of a couple of dozen.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hahaha. I don't have proper arrangement for him. I keep him with Gold fish in aquarium.
I didn't want to buy him, but I was buying helmet and I saw these beautiful creatures swimming in a small pot with Gold fish. So I bought both of them. [emoji173]
He is a baby turtle. He is about only 2 or 2.5 inches long

He needs special conditions, a very special diet and marine salt water.
And a LOT of space.
What happened to the other one?
