Thank for you offer to host terrapins ...Hi Roberta<br /><br />Thank for you offer to host terrapins in your backyard pond. Unfortunately, because the species is protected under Seychelles law, it is illegal to keep them as pets.<br /><br />Enjoy your frogs – do you want me to put you in touch with a frog expert so you can identify your new tenats?turtle chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029171359147958093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225857294179011206.post-13128915490313685132009-06-01T00:07:26.705-07:002009-06-01T00:07:26.705-07:00Hey turtle chick, you are lucky you did not get bi...Hey turtle chick, you are lucky you did not get bitten by a Centipede while rummaging through piles of leaves in the middle of the night. <br />If you ever want a pond for future terrapines call me. I built one at home in 2 hours with a spade, some builders plastic and loads of water weeds. the downside is I now have "the moonlight frog choir" <br />that perform most nights for most of the night under my bedroom window.<br />Enjoy Reunion<br /><br />RobertaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225857294179011206.post-62775272097610582952009-05-20T03:35:15.780-07:002009-05-20T03:35:15.780-07:00I lost J.Lo!
Well only for a little while!
Afte...I lost J.Lo!<br /><br />Well only for a little while!<br /><br />After posting my comment on the blog last night, I went to check on her and she was nowhere to be found. PANIC!!!! My dog, Izzy, who had proven himself as a great terrapin tracker was of no use and kept thinking we were off to a midnight swim!<br /><br />I went home, had some dinner, fed the dogs and waited about 10 minutes before dragging Izzy for another search and rescue expedition. With my torch in one hand and a stick in the other, Izzy and I rummaged through every pile of leaves we could find – eventually we found J.Lo curled up under a pile of coconut husks in my flower bed, half buried in the dirt, less than 20 cm from where she had been snoozing during the day!<br /><br />Ecstatic does not describe how I felt. After confirming she was still alive, I covered her up with a large box (just in case she decided to go walkies in the middle of the night) and went to bed with a smile.<br /><br />J.Lo has gone into hibernation, having decided my garden is not up to her standards. Friday cannot come soon enough!turtle chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029171359147958093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225857294179011206.post-50745379944480109502009-05-19T07:50:00.000-07:002009-05-19T07:50:00.000-07:00I though it was rather good too!
