I forgot it's Friday! I'm thinking about selling my rose hair tarantula for an Asian forest scorpion. Sound good?

Happy 25 minute 25th page everybody!

Good Morning Jacqui- This is your 1st full day in your new year. Happy 1st day.

Now that is an interesting way to look at it and one I never had. Thank you.


It's Labor day weekend, which for many means a three day off from work mini vacation. Do you have any plans for this weekend?

I am going to be working on Franklin T. new set up.

That's right, you mentioned it yesterday. Before you start how much money and how much time do you think it will take you to do it?

I have already got the building. So I am hoping to keep it within a $300.00 budget. I also hope to have it completed by Sunday.

Okay, now be sure to sorta keep track of how much time and money you actually spend. The reason for this is because I think often new folks don't realize the time and money that goes into making some of these enclosures, so they fail to preplan correctly. Also are you going to take before pictures too, so we can compare?

It cost $800 to finish off the inside only of Bob's shed. That's labor, insulation and plywood. I've been thinking maybe I got took...But let's see if you can carry it off for $300


Jacqui...He's pretty soft. I've had him for about 8 months and he's not getting any harder. His plastron is soft and so is the sides of his carapace. The Vet keeps saying these things take time. But I thought he'd be better by now...He's eating and active, but I have discovered that doesn't mean much...

:( but at the same time, the eating and being active will help get the calcium moving throughout his system and hopefully start doing some good. I know others disagree, but I really think there are times when your dealing with what in humans we call "a failure to thrive" baby that no matter what you do, it's only going to maintain until it finally has the day it's systems start to shut down. Hope this little guy pulls out. He looks like a real sweet guy full of personality.

Hey Maggie
Franklin's shed is only going to be a 7' x 7' Tubberware box. lol (paid for)
Luckly I don't have to pay for labor. But, I might wish I did in the long run. I am going to keep a running total on what I spend. I always guess low. I took some pictures but I am going to get my daughter to show me how merger them tonight. But, the building has not been modified yet.
I had to pay the air conditioner guy a few months ago and I felt cheated. [/i]

Speaking of spending on tortoises… I took Sid back to the vet for his check up and his surgery site is doing great, there is some swelling of the tissue around where I was flushing that look's like a reaction to the betadine or Granulex so he is going to take Baytril and an antiinflamitory for the next 2 weeks and then he should be in the clear. At this point I have spent $1,010.00 on vet care in the last 2 week's on my Sid.

The bright side is he is getting better and I have learned some great lesson's on cleaning wound's, how to keep a big tortoises head out, and how to hide pill's in strawberries. Sid is just the sweetest soul and just want's to bask and graze and not be sick!

I am glad to hear that Sid is improving. I hate that he was sick. But I am glad he got a great parent like you.

Franklin house- I am up to $85.00 dollars for a window and of course he had to have shutters.
