Almost 4:30 and I finely get to eat a sandwich

I have just enough time to eat and change my shirt so I can go to job #2 where I work from 5-11pm these last few days have sucked. Okay, rant over.

Lol, they come out when ever food is around.

I actually enjoy working at the shelter, you can see our website at www.houstonBARC.com

I have worked here 5 years, but have about 10+ years of experiance working with animals. Not including having reptiles growing up.


Well, if you come across any torts needing homes you know who to call.

Then you should live here! I see possums and raccoons every night, but I don't eat them :p
Not a good place for a little tort! :eek:
Yep, trust me, they are NOT fun... they are mean, and they sit on the flowers/eat them, they poop EVERYWHERE, and it's like a nightly battle to beat them... :(

No kidding..............

A bubble envelope would work, I'd think :D
Do you just set them off into the wild in the morning? I don't trap them, I wouldn't want to have to deal deal with them in the morning! :confused:
Yes, their poops smell just GREAT! :eek:

The sun was pretty tonight. A big orangey red ball as it gently was kissing the horizon.

Ahhh so your one of those that sends the problem on to somebody else... yeah okay it's one of my pet peeves, sorry

I catch them because I'm worry they will get into my outdoor Torts enclosure.

I have had them only twice get into the enclosures. The one time, I placed a board so the possum could climb out as he couldn't figure out how to get over the wire lip. the other one was in the sauna/hot tub we have buried and it must not have figured out how to get out and drowned. It went in for a drink I am sure, no turtles were out at that time.

Get a big ol' dog. Works for me!

My cousin's big dog did catch them from time to time in his house but my cousin do not have torts in his yard.

I think my $39.99 trap work well for now. At least I don't have to feed that thing and worry about that thing chew on my torts. :D
