It's out in the garage somewhere. It could be modified easily.
I'm still waiting on Amazon to send me my cards.
Well, today I took in 2018 rescue #81. A fellow called me yesterday having found the turtle in the street. He put up fliers and tried to find its owner, but to no avail. I told him I'd take it, mainly because it WASN'T a RES, but also, I felt sorry for him because he really did do all he could to find the owner. I thought I'd probably be able to place the turtle quickly because it's NOT a RES. So this a.m. he brought the turtle and it has a big ear abscess. So there goes my thoughts of getting rid of it easily. Now I'll have to lance the abscess and probably have to keep the turtle until spring when it can go outside. It really isn't a RES, thank goodness. It's one of the painted varieties. And I think it's female.

She’s beautiful. Hope someone will step forward and give her a good forever home. I might still have the credit from winning the calendar contest. Do you need anything from tortoisesupply?
I am sending it tomorrow morning.
What a pretty little thing.
You won one of the contests? Well done.
I agree. It is a very kind offer. You have such a good heart.Poor turtle. Glad it isn't a RES. What a lovely offer
Kristoff did. It was nerve-wrecking for me. He, on the other hand, couldn’t care less! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Yvonne didn’t seem to need anything that year and actually donated her prize to me. I thought maybe this year things are different, with all those rescues...
Poor thing!!!
My heart is smiling from your posts. I am proud to be associated with such a caring group of people! Big E HUGS to all of you [emoji847]
Ha ha ha.
Aw, thank you so much. When people turn in their turtles and tortoises most of them also give me their enclosures and supplies. So I have enough 'stuff' to outfit a couple hundred turtles and tortoises. I have a whole bedroom of the vacant house in back filled with lights, feeders, waterers, aquariums, tubs, filters and anything you can imagine! I even have a Zoo Med Tortoise House out there.
It just now hit me. I've read through all the posts here up to the last post I read yesterday and there was nothing from Sabine. She posted earlier updating her sulcata thread with current pictures. Now she's got me worried she's going to pull an 'Adam' on us.
I saw that!
