Hopefully I'll have more free time now but I'm limiting my online/phone stuff. It's been a sore subject with my wife for a while and we are trying to keep our marriage a float. It's hard though

Just wanted to reach out and say hello from Turbo and I. I have gone through a divorce and have moved from Florida to Banner Elk, NC. I am loving it and I think Turbo is getting used to it. I have him in a bathroom with a tub full of water and several lights and areas for him to roam. I hope is he a real slow grower!! I was able to take 2 of my dogs. A golden retriever (Chelsea) and a German short hair pointer (Bailey). I hope to be back on here and catching up on what everyone else is doing. I was hoping someone from the forum might live up here as well. Anyone from NC??

Lots of big changes in your life at once.

First off, let me start out by saying that here on my property, I don't have snails, but the type of snails common in my geographical area are just plain old snails that look similar to this picture I took off the 'net:

So earlier today I picked up a plank that had been laying on the ground in an isolation pen for several years. I figured it was time to put the board away on the wood pile. Under that board were about 50 to 100 of these:

They're alive. Does anyone know what they are? This quarantine pen is for desert tortoises, and is only watered to keep the grass alive. It's not a moist environment, however, right outside the fence I have a 300 gallon water trough full of water, and a couple of whiskey barrels with water plants. Do you think these are water snails? That's what I'm thinking, but why are they on the ground and not in the water?

I was never able to master the bow and arrow. I got pretty good with the pellet rifle, but the bow was a no go.

Me either. But I'm waiting right now for my bug guy to come pick up his two sulcatas that I've been watching the past 2 weeks.

I've got plenty of leaves to rake and pick up, but I'm not in the mood.
