@Yvonne G @Will @Dizisdalife @N2TORTS and other Californians. What the heck are tortoise owners going to do if they make us kill the grass? We don't have any grass but I was going to put some in for a sulcata enclosure. I'm get nervous about that because I don't want to get fined for having green grass and watering it!
What are your plans for all the grazers you have?

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California water regulators adopted sweeping, unprecedented restrictions Tuesday on how people, governments and businesses can use water amid the state's ongoing drought.

The State Water Resources Control Board approved rules that force cities to limit watering on public property, encourage homeowners to let their lawns die and impose mandatory water-savings targets for the hundreds of local agencies and cities that supply water to California customers.

Instead of lawn grass could you plant other types of wild type grass? Or just a whole bunch of weeds? At least in your tortoise pan I would think that would be okay.

Use gray water . Bath water , dish water ,and washing machine water . All you have to do is watch the soaps you use . Put in a rain collection system. Simple fix . I don't see why we couldn't put in a pipe line from Louisiana or some other state that has a crap load of water . It would create a crap load of jobs and no pollution.

I didn't realize their little noses looked like a pigs nose. I always thought they were bigger. We didn't have those in Colorado.

They get bigger ,these were babies .

Where I grew up we always conserve water to a certain extent. It was just part of life. Everybody did it, and there was huge social pressure to do it. You didn't hear much complaining at all. Wasting water is one of my big pet peeve's.

 

[mike taylor]

I've never heard of Beaumont Texas either :/

Look at a map . haha haha Google maps are your friend.

 

[mike taylor]

One day, my friend, I'll take you up on that kind offer.
I was in charge of a couple of thousand crocs in Thailand, and one of the other farms had 100.000, so alligators no problem for me, I think.
But armadillos, Wow!!!

Just let me know .

That's what I'm doing now. Except here it get so hot in the summer that our weeds turn brown. We get the best weeds during the winter so I don't want my yard to stand out because we get a lot of fly buys! I guess I will do the best I can and deal with it. They can't stop me from feeding my pets right?

Hey cheese snob ! If you found someone that is a match to your blood type ,how would it work ? Does the donor have to pay for his / her doctor bill ,or is that free ?

As far as I know the donor is not charged foe the operation. Of course I legally can't offer financial compensation, but lets just say the donor would have a lifetime supply of grape leaves(hint hint)

David, is there a guess as to how long you will be in the hospital?

I am actually in rehab now, best estimate is July.

Rain collection system would be wonderful if we got more than 5 inches a year! You guys get closer to 30ish!
California is drying up!! I think I need to move! Texas is sounding good right now!

I can't understand it at all.
We're on the edge of the dry Atlas mountains and Morocco includes parts of the Sahara, but we don't get rationing, though supplies run low at the end of each summer. California's rich isn't it? What's going on ?

Grow a more tolerant grass that can handle hot and dry conditions.
