Kamp Kenan had a lot of good advice and I watched a lot of videos. The only thing I would say that varies with care is climate. He lives I a naturally humid and warm climate, so it’s an ideal environment for hatchlings. Here in Northeast Ohio it’s cold and humidity is low. I my room where Winston is is anywhere from 68-74 degrees and 24-30% humidity. So a closed chamber is ideal for my baby. He wouldn’t do well with an open top.

I've found that I have to keep the humidity in my home at least 40% for MY health. I live in Ohio too. I have a humidifier and my doctor is happy about that. He has a new baby and runs one for his baby. Not because the baby is sick. He wants his baby not to get sick. Prevention is the best medicine.

Yes! I work from home and Winston’s enclosure is in my office. I run a humidifier there and in the main living area. It’s amazing what humidity does for our breathing up here come winter time.

Oh goodness!!... I wouldn’t expect you to repeat this feat every week. [emoji33] How did you do it? [emoji50][emoji854][emoji120]

I know!!! She's amazing and so cute and adorable. If she gets to busy? She'll just have to do it another day. Always put off till tomorrow what should have been today.

It's a beautiful, sunny day here, but too breezy to spray Round-up on the weeds, so I'm not outside. But Mr. Kitty found a nice spot in the sun to warm up:

I don't know how comfy laying on a rotting stump is, but he seems to be enjoying it. (His eyes are closed)

This is the area that's going to be my new driveway. I hate losing that large aloe you see just over the fence. Hopefully we can dig it up and transplant it.

And when I peeked around the shed, I was able to catch a large RES taking the sun:

Nooooooo! SAVE THE SUCCULENTS!

 

[Cathie G]

He clearly enjoyed it! [emoji33]

Well I did say when it rains it pours hehehe...

 

[Pastel Tortie]

Hehehe. I woke up my birds and they looked at me like I was a crazy old lady.

No roosters in the bunch, I take it.

[emoji33][emoji33] Rattle snakes?? Copperheads?? OK, I’m erasing Texas and California off my list of places to relocate to... And what was it? Scorpions in Cape Town? Off the list!

Nunavut, here I come!

Lol!!! I think there are very few of either on BoraBora[emoji16]

Maybe he prefers your body heat. Much better heating system. [emoji23] [emoji23]

My thoughts too

 

[EllieMay]

He's a bit big to shove up my jumper to keep him warm.
The only time I lay on the sofa and let him lie on my stomach he peed on me!! A river of it!!

ATTITUDE!!! Very opinionated isn’t he!

 

[EllieMay]

We only have soft cuddly koala cubs here

That MUST be a fairy tale..

Good evening, roommates!

Copenhagen has a wonderful science museum called Experimentarium. We had a tour with husband’s university yesterday.

Amazing for kids.

A total sensory overload for me. [emoji856]

In the first part of the tour, we had to explore the museum in teams to find answers to some questions about the exhibits, some of which were quite tricky. We won the first prize with our team! And were awarded a bottle of... soap bubbles. [emoji85]

My favorite exhibit was a laser harp — you could play it by touching the beams of light.

The other had a strong flash that made your shadow freeze on the wall. Fortunately, mine returned to me quickly and nobody had to sew it back.

The museum is located next to one of the two Danish beer giants.

And, of course, we had rain. And a faint rainbow. No leprechauns in sight though.

What a cool trip. I would enjoy that! Well done on the team work.. everyone needs a good bottle of bubbles[emoji23]

It doesn’t freeze there? I can’t have aloe outside here... I’ve always wanted a big one!

Meet Mr. Dilly still trying to steal Miss Razberri's last year birthday present. She has turned it into pretzels...

He’s gorgeous!

Some aloes can withstand the cold pretty well, actually. Sub-freezing temperatures, if not TOO low, and not for TOO long. They'd probably still appreciate some protection if there's frost in the forecast.

Do you have room for pet geese or chickens? It's funny to watch snakes get the heck out of Dodge when a big bird is eyeballing them.

I do, but it’s complicated. We have one lot that puts us in a subdivision on a private lake. We are not supposed to have poultry, live stock, etc.. but then we also own 8 acres that connects to the lot but is not part of the subdivision... that’s how I get away with having my horses and such. I really want to get some mallards and put them on the lake but I’m scared some of the snotty neighbors will complain. I have raised chicken, peacock, turkeys, etc before we moved here but my husband doesn’t care for all that too much so I downsized when we married I love fresh eggs but always had to buy them when I was cooking for him [emoji37]
On another note, I usually get warned by the Jays when a snake is lurking. My Tom cat is also Lethal to them!

So now I’m going to have to google “hardy aloe” and see what I can get... Thanks Anne!!
