We'll do it in a couple of weeks when son is home as he wants to be here
COLD DARK ROOM
- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad
- Start date
Daughter started her job with the ecology consultancy last week. It fits round her job at the filling station.
Last week they put out squares of roof felt at regular intervals for the reptiles to hide under and bask on.
Yesterday a "reptile fence" went up to prevent new ones moving in.
Today she did her first patrol looking for reptiles to move to a new home. She wasn't expecting much as the weather hasn't been great, but ...
A juvenile slow worm (a legless lizard) about 15cm/6" long put in an appearance
And now has a new home safely away from the building work due to start there this summer. All British reptiles are scarce
Here it is moving in

Good morning all. It's going to be a beautiful day here in south east England. We're forecast perfect tortoise sunshine in the low 20s Celsius (low 70s F).
I have a physio appointment this morning - a follow up to last week's. I am better but still quite sore

Good morning!!
My pool guy might join the forum. He found a Greek tortoise and I'm trying to help him get started.
He fed him romaine and apples.
I gave him some seeds to plant and a few ideas.
Not sure if this a Greek but the guy at the reptile store told him "Sulcata!" Even I knew that was wrong. Maybe Russian?

I'd also say a Greek. But I have no experience with them. I know that they shouldn't eat apples, though.
He said " but he liked it!"
Baby likes candy too! I told him they can't process sugars.
You know what's it's like trying to help people. Frustrating sometimes.
Do they need heat at night? I'd say right now it gets down to about 58-63.
Greek! Definitely Greek. Looks like Joe
As long as temps don't drop below 58 should be fine outside.
Weedy leafy greens. No fruit.
Lots of space outdoors. A big old one (underside required for gender) like that won't cope indoors at all.

Did he have heat at night in the spring?
Quick visit - off to a meeting - again
well that's my work done, to base for 2.5hrs OT
This is what's needed

I assume that attempts have been made to trace the original owner? There's someone as devastated as us missing a Greek right now.
He did try. That was the first thing I asked him. I'm going to keep checking for lost torts on our Craigslist ads.
