Good afternoon!!
Just wanted to share the outdoor enclosure I put together for my hatchling desert tort this morning.
I had him in a cement mixing bin for the last two weeks until I decided to use a kiddie pool for now. He wasn't to happy the first 30 minutes but now I see him eating.
I have a couple of hills for him to climb which you can't see in the photo.
I also put up bird netting just in case. It's nothing special but gives him more room and enjoy the sun for a few hours.

That's nice, Kathy. It's good to get them outside for natural sun every so often.

Afternoon all! Waiting on my neighbor at the Salvation Army. I bought a sack of books and a sleeping bag for next year at one of the seating areas near the tortoise enclosure. The color would look best in one area, but I might get more use of it in another. Good thing I have several months to decide.

Are you saying that your sleeping bag is to use near the tortoise enclosures?

Sooo you sit bundled up sipping tea in the cold watching your torts

 

[smarch]

you know what they say about water finding its own level. Water find its own level.

We met each other for a reason and I genuinely believe that.

This morning I was at Lowes and on the $1 rack I found purslane and something else I can remember. I bought 6 altogether. I just need to plant them and get them healthy again. I have started a couple different areas for plants for the future that I'm sure have been sprayed.
We are getting into the 90's again this week after all the rain we got a couple of days ago.

Hi Jacqui *waves*

 

[Yvonne G]

I love the bad plant rack. I've scored some pretty good bargains at Lowes at that rack. Will and I went to Lowe's this past week-end and he pulls out his phone and does the poison plant check on the discounted plants.

You got it. Normally with a book and these days my phone.

Correct.

We do not call them bad plants, just ones needing TLC. I love a good bargin plant.

That's exactly what I did! It took forever. Better safe than sorry

I have nothing to do this afternoon.

Have some coco coil soaked and now under the sun, it will be ready to use in a week that I'm prepared for my Hermanni to hibernating in.

Maybe I will go dig a bigger basement for our "little pig"!

@Jacqui Mavis and her Mamma say "THANK YOU!!!" for the delicious Mulberry leaves...




She has no problem eating your mulberry leaves even when they're all the way dry. Thank you! This will be an excellent addition to our winter food

 

[bouaboua]

Look just like my little pig.

 

[Prairie Mom]

Mavis is a good eater. I'm really lucky that way
