Did you actually do those on your lathe? Or what? They are amazing in the wood working it took to do them.š¤
Ya, kinda like this.....Ok guysā¦.great day here AND I got out kayaking to boot. A bit chilly start at 50 but it warmed up nicely.
Sooooooooo, other than Red-Eared Sliders I have never seen any other turtle out kayaking. I look and look & look, nothing. This morning as i paddled along scoping the shoreline for āthingsāā¦.I see a big old turtle out. I paddle slowly, and glide up, camera in hand at the ready. Thenā¦as i get within snap zone - turns out to be a log. š¢
More paddling. More looking. Then I spotted another possible āturtleā, but Iām less sure since Iām far off & canāt quite see details. I again sneak up & WHAT?! is that really a turtle? Is it dead, laying eggs? Going to scoot off? I glide up & sure enough i come eye to eye with a pretty nice size snapping turtle. Iām guessing a probable female getting out to lay eggs, or just laid eggs & was resting.
I took a few shots - check out the protuberances on the tail!

Yep I was thinking wow š¤£ how in the world did he get those little bunny ears on that humungous machine š š¤No, these are hand-carved out of a block of wood & a carving knife. No electricity or power tools involved. š

I saw the post, and have one question, does ANY of the Mazuri Tortoise food come colored, (red/pink)?Can one of our mods look at a thread called "I think my tortoise vomited"? The Tortoise has pink poop after eating a hard-boiled egg and Mazzuri.

I don't know. And I've never heard of feeding a Tortoise a hard-boiled egg either. But I don't know a dang thing about large torts so I don't feel qualified to even answer but the person didn't have anyone answer after many hours so...I saw the post, and have one question, does ANY of the Mazuri Tortoise food come colored, (red/pink)?
I think HB Egg is an unusual food for an omnivore, but it IS a protein source.I don't know. And I've never heard of feeding a Tortoise a hard-boiled egg either.

Yes. I can see it being used for a reptile. But I used the egg uncooked for a snake so I'm not sure. It'll be interesting to find out though.š¤I think Egg is an unusual food for an omnivore, but it IS a protein source.
Hahaha š she'll probably settle down once she's taken over your spot š on the couch and lap š¤£. Oh my garsh don't remind me that Christmas is so close... time goes too fast.Good afternoon/evening all - and its almost good morning again for UK again.
The whirlwind that is Tilly arrived last night!!
All my shoes have had to put away from sharp little teeth and anything within reach has been raised out of her way.
We have had 2 walks today and she loves her toys so no chance to sit and relax without a soggy rag toy being tossed in my lap or face.
She hasn't seen Lola yet but heard him moving about in his room today and didn't like that one bit. I have had to run shifts for them both to have some time in the garden so that there's no danger of them meeting.
I took her back to her own garden for a while because they have a huge place, and she could chase her toys and use up some of her energy.
In fairness considering she's a young pup, she hasn't been too bad. She slept in her cage overnight without any problems and when she is tired she just cuddles up and sleeps, although at the moment she has claimed the best spot on the sofa as her own.
I've only had her one day and feel exhausted already!!
I hope you're all enjoying the last day of April - a quarter of the way through the year already!!
Great pictures!Ok guysā¦.great day here AND I got out kayaking to boot. A bit chilly start at 50 but it warmed up nicely.
