That’s tough!!
That’s how I acquired my 2nd RF.
I went to Petco and saw him in a tiny aquarium.
I couldn’t get him. I’m pretty sure he was a turn in because they don’t do RF and he was severely pyramided.
I watched him for 2 months and finally bought/rescued him!
I thought my husband was going to kill me but he was in China. Lol!
I’ve had him about 4yrs.

This one was about 6-8” I bet with a perfectly smooth shell..absolutely gorgeous... and in an aquarium not big enough to poop in... I told my hubby about it and he said “ all I want to know is if it is still in the store” [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]..... his price was almost $300 .. I will have to check and see if he is still there next week because I won’t be able to help myself!! And this was a Petco as well [emoji848]

A very brief post to let you know I exist. I have had an awful week and am on antibiotics for bronchitis. I wish I could say I felt better, but I have to finish the course.

Just to add to my misery, I fell over in the shower this morning and bashed my head hard on the wall. I am so glad JoesDad is working from home today.

Oh my goodness!
Feel better my friend and get some rest!

That's why I don't go into pet stores. I would come out with a new friend. I am waiting for a rescue that drops in my lap. Then what can I do.

My composting project....they really are amazing at turning household waste into good stuff for the garden.

Aka “vermiculture”.

Vermicomposting = organic fertilizer

I have never known anyone before that utilized vermiculture for anything other than fishing [emoji23][emoji23]
Shows my roots, I suppose :)

I have two tricky gate areas to finish and the soak hole... then it’s just cultivating. I am making one of the gates myself.. got an idea off of Etsy and it’s way cheaper for me to make than buy. I’m saving that for the grand reveal:)
