Are you planning on getting a tortoise or a turtle?I think the inside dimensions are 23"×47" or close to it.
I'm afraid that won't be big enough for an adult tortoise, good as a starter home for a baby.

I darned well hope not!Will the topic lock at 100,000?
Turtle. What I've been looking for is an eastern painted turtle. But I'm starting to look at a couple of other possibilities now also. I don't want any that will outgrow this tank right now so that does limit me somewhat lol. The pet store sales RES but they get bigger than I'd like.Are you planning on getting a tortoise or a turtle?

Ok I did not know how that worked lolI darned well hope not!
Pretend Chat's still going on quite happily after it reached that total.
A little mud or musk turtle would do nicely. They are pretty people friendly and awfully cute.Turtle. What I've been looking for is an eastern painted turtle.

Rest assured, the CDR will continue as long as there are posts in it. Reason we had to make a second 'Chat' was Josh's other Forum program didn't have enough memory (????? wrong word, I'm sure) and it kept stalling because the chat was so big. Josh has since updated the Forum and we can just talk to our heart's content.I darned well hope not!

Well, DARN! You'll just have to sit at the computer and cruise TFO all day...or maybe take a nap (that's what I'd do!!!Howdy everyone! I ran the weedeater this a.m. until my battery ran out of juice. Tried to put it on the charger but couldn't get the charger's light to show 'green.' It kept blinking red. That means the battery isn't put in correctly. Dang! I tried and tried and couldn't get it to work. So I'm out of commission with the weedeater.
Well then, lunch and a nap it is!Well, DARN! You'll just have to sit at the computer and cruise TFO all day...or maybe take a nap (that's what I'd do!!!)

Yes, how about a musk turtle, Dan?A little mud or musk turtle would do nicely. They are pretty people friendly and awfully cute.

Noted. And would not spoil it for you at all. In fact I haven't managed to come onlune the whole day. Until now. Doing a quick catch up then to sleep for me as tomorrow is another busy day.I know.
I have done it myself in the past on occasion.
But there will be a prize for this and I don't want a repeat of what happened on Pretend Chat.![]()
[emoji22] [emoji22]I actually think this is rather sad.
I miss him so much and I'm so very miserable that he doesn't share his life with us any more.
I thought he was my friend.![]()
Shame Bea. Her floating basking spot seems to be a problem child. What about adding a 2nd tank at height level for a more or less dry dock and basking spot. Then she can go in and out if the water when she wants. Sort of a mini version of that fancy tank i posted a couple of days ago.She appears to be doing great!
She keeps wanting to bask (float basking a lot) but I removed the one involved in the accident, the next one was not satisfactory, the next one developed great gobs of fuzzy mild or something, so I’m trying to build a plastic one, post haste. I want her to be able to raise her body temperature at will, so I’ve got to have one that she can get completely out of the water on.
Been working feverishly today, and hope to have photos for you tomorrow! (IF my phone will behave...[emoji853])

That is just confusing.Mostly.
Ish.
We're GMT in winter and 'spring forwards' an hour at the same time, or roughly,and 'fall back' at the same time or nearly.
But we also have an extra 'fall back' for Ramadan and an accompanying 'spring forwards' again just after it finishes.
Four clock changes! Most annoying.
Sounds interesting!I haven't a clue. Had an idea pop in my head this morning, I'd have to harass my husband into making a prototype...
What a lovely view.No.
Not even the sub-Sahara, though full days of rain are rare here and it gets pretty dry, but we can be quite verdant even in summer, two rivers go through Fes. We are in a mountain valley.
This is just outside the city in the middle of summer.

Oh dear. Big hug for you.Thanks bunches, Adam.
I am a bit obsessed about getting Jacques' basking platform JUST right. It's silly, but oh, well.
I really need to unwind a little about this whole incident, from the near-drowning to the pneumonia and the extended hospital stay. My perfectionist tendencies are going full-bore and that's not really good for me, my blood pressure or the people around me!!!!!!!![]()
