COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Thank you SO much. [emoji2][emoji173]️ After a good night’s sleep, I’ve adjusted to the shock a bit and am back in fighting form. Planning another chat with hubby today about finding a way to make it work.

Glad you are fighting fit again. Now we just need Jacques to be fighting fit.

 

[CarolM]

I love puzzles! At least until that moment when something doesn’t fit, and then I just want to smash it up to pieces!

LOL. I know the feeling. I love your new profile pic btw.

Maybe a GoFundMe project for Jacques would work! I routinely “lend” money to KIVA, the organization that has offices world-wide and lends money to borrowers in need of some funds (many reasons). I tend to lend money to agricultural type issues, ppl needing money to buy seed, farm animals, bee supplies, etc that eventually is sold...and loans paid off sometimes in very small amounts over time. Interested... https://www.kiva.org/

A GoFundMe for Jacques might appeal to TortoiseForum members Get your local TV station involved....Steve Harvey, Ellen...or others! Once more ppl are aware of Jacque’s plight the better.

Another weather update. We had a relatively low key winter, little snow, colder and drier than normal, but alright. Now, with the arrival of Spring, we have had a dangerous wind storm, snow storms up and down the eastern seaboard, and today, yet another wind storm blowing in today. Hang onto your hats..50 mph winds rushing in from the west...

Karma points! Well done, Dan!

This is what I imagine (in your profile pic that is) Toms place looks like with all his torts, when it is feeding time.

By stats, do you mean the water parameters, Yvonne? I have not checked them lately because the ghost shrimp, which are very sensitive to the water quality, are doing so well.

Temperature is the first thing to check when a turtle or tortoise shows signs of discomfort. Don't depend on the other critters to tell you.

Saved a beautiful box turtle today. A nice bright yellow patterned one that was in the middle of the road. I would have taken a picture but it was raining and had some traffic.

WAY TO GO, DAN!!!![emoji2][emoji173]️[emoji2][emoji173]️[emoji2][emoji173]️

Maybe we are going to see some eggs soon.

LOVE these videos! [emoji173]️

[Dipa]

I am freaking out here
Can someone help me?

 

[Dipa]

Can anyone help me to sort out this?
I think he is dragging his leg and not using it

 

[Bambam1989]

Oh holy crap. I found this in corner 5. Who lost it ??????

[emoji33] it's definitely not mine! Lol

 

[Bambam1989]

I like puzzles, but this one was difficult for me. I am almost tempted to send it to Yvonne to do for me, and post a picture. But I am not sure if I still have it. LOL and or if I have all the pieces. Can you imagine doing the whole puzzle to find that there is one piece missing.

I love puzzles too! But I don't get in a rush to solve them, I will usually work on them for a week or two depending on the size.
Currently have a 1000 piece going.

@Dipa, you wpuld be better off posting these videos in the Indian Star forum ... Start a new thread... where the spevies experts will see it and can help.

The movement doesn't look that bad to me. Any tort will struggle to walk properly on a smooth floor like that. Joe certainly did on the tiles of our conservatory.

Does this tort get UVB light?

Is it kept in a proper enclosure or allowed to roam free?

What temperatures do you have where it lives?

I am saying nothing.....

I have seen both birds now

They have been very busy round the box

They need a lot of time to decide if they want to stay and build a nest ! Silly little birds.

 

[Bee62]

It is normal here
Enjoy the sunlight

Thank you. I will do.
