I hope you have plans that will be outside.

Lacrosse game and I'm thinking about dividing my pen because my guy is really horny right now and is bugging my girl!!! I put up a sight barrier but he is so horny he just hunts her down!! Oh, am I allowed to say that?

oh I have some really good news. I went to the petstore last night. I was there about 2 weeks ago. I was doing a follow up on the russian they have. 2 weeks ago he had no uvb dry tank, bad food. He was just laying in a corner. when I held him I was shocked at how cold he felt. I talk to the manager. Last night when I went things had been changed. When I held him he was heavier and warmer. He was on coco coir and had repti bark on one side. He had fresh greens. The coir was dampened. I talked to the manager again and told him how pleased I was with the change. He told me thank you for pointing out the things that were done wrong. I gave him the link to this site 2 weeks ago. He said he looked at it and was sorry that they tell people the wrong things and that when he sells the tortoise he will tell the new owners about this site. WOO HOO :)

Most of this is being pulled up and/or mowed this weekend. The mallow will stay but the 4 ft tall sow thistle and all the other weeds are going down. The tortoise yard now has enough weeds to sustain them once they can finally go out there. This is the dog side and the "harvest" side. I'm keeping the mallow because I want it to go to seed so I can throw the seeds in the tortoise yard and along the fence between the two yards.
