Last minute decisions.

[clare n]

Well. Tomorrow is operation pick up the sulcata day. Today I was up at 6, as per. I spent until half one sorting out last minute bits. Used almost half a tank of petrol since yesterday.... Due to start work at two. 1:45, I stand back and look. And at risk of sounding like my husband and his marine fish, I say in my head, "it's not big enough. I don't like it." I've brooded on it and planned for 7 hours, my workmates must be sick of my ramblings. Well I'm home now, I finished at 9, I pick Edith (possibly named) up tomorrow at some point. It's now 10pm, I'm having a full on wetty in my kitchen, where I'm initially setting up. House proud has left the building, much to my dismay. soon to be followed by my husband I feel I WILL finish this tonight though. And the bottle of gallo on the side is encouraging me all the more!

Don't worry so much! The thing I have found since having torts and being on this forum is that for all of our planning and puzzling trying to create the perfect set up, they are all temporary. The most perfect tort habitat I can make today isn't going to look like my best work in a few months. Tort housing is a process; something you never stop working on. Enjoy your bottle of Gallo, breathe deep, and go pick up Edith!! Let the fun begin!

Ummm is that a block of coir your trying to get wet in a garbage bag?

No I've cut what I needed off and soaked it for the new tort. The bit in the bag will be used in a couple of days time to refresh phillips night time home. It's just less mess to carry it to the garage if it's in a bag.
