Good Monday Morning Everyone,

It has been a while since I have been on here. Glad to read that everybody is doing well and I see Bambam is back. Nice to not see you Brandy.
Ben good luck with your moc test and I am really happy for you, that you are enjoying your studies so much.
I have been really busy at work lately and exhausted once I get home. Weekends have been used to just chill and get some energy back before Monday starts again.

I have missed you guys, but hopefully I am back now.

The days are getting hotter over here and my torts are getting to enjoy much more outside time. There are quite a few eggs in the outside enclosure, however it remains to be seen if they are fertile or not, as last year I decided to separate Whitey away from Blue because he was giving her such a hard time. (excuse the pun!) In which case these eggs that she is laying may not be fertilized. Although I have read that they can keep the sperm inside them to fertilize an egg for a very long time. So we will we know by March, April, May next year if these eggs are fertile or not.

Enjoy your Monday's everybody. Chat again soon.
So good to "not" see you again too!

Happy Monday alles. October starts this week.....going to STILL be in the 90’s for at least three of these upcoming days. It just doesn't feel right outside. That said, cold temperatures HAVE to arrive soon which means indoor cell time for our Sully. The enclosure we built last year for Sullys use worked very well, inside and outside all Summer. But, it’s too heavy/bulky to get back inside.

Sooooo, time for a new indoor Sully build. Bought some wood to start the exterior frame. I plan to re-use Sullys current Kane mat, but get a new RHP for the ceiling. This box will be a permanent “indoor” nightbox, and larger than the outside one.

Good mornooning, Carol!! Great to not see you again. Glad you’re in the card exchange.
@Bee62, you’re the other person I miss a lot who hasn’t been not-seen lately.

Good morning! So wonderful not to see you, Carol!!! I find it fascinating that we write about opposite seasons around us yet again.. and EGGS..... [emoji16] oh how exciting!!

Opposite seasons! [emoji24] It actually was very chilly this morning. I’m thinking of fishing out my light down jacket. I hope the ghost shrimp didn’t get to it first. [emoji33]

Mark, I’ve been on and off here, so I’m a little confused: where in the world are you now?
Good luck with the building!

Good mornooning, me hearties! (Too much time spent with the One-Legged Pirate last night.[emoji849]) The temperatures dipped in the forecast for this week. The foliage is just turning:

I’m in stage 2 for one of the jobs I’ve applied for. Lots of writing about past experiences to be finished by Friday.

And, of course, my sense of humour is safe only in the darkness of the CDR:

A fire on Burnstown road? Hysterical!

I should have read further before I asked how the job hunting was going.

We also went to the local zoo today. Many of the animals they have are rescues or "defective" by big zoo standards. Like their Aldabras, who were seized from poor conditions. There were three of them. The largest seems to look healthy, another clearly had/has MBD and the third probably had a slight case because it couldn't lift itself properly in the back end.
The latter one was getting impatient for its breakfast and was hoping my phone was secretly a delicious snack!View attachment 281534View attachment 281535View attachment 281536
