Little Abrams got a rock today and took advantage of it.

It's been awhile since I took some pictures of her, so I took Indigo outside for some pictures yesterday.

















Really like this one.

I was at a park recently and someone had a 12 foot Burmese on the playground.

A Funny Tank Story

For almost a week Tank has been off food. This isn't normal for him and as far as I can remember he's never turned more then 1 meal down. I've been very worried about him and thought he might be constipated or worst had a blockage. I've had little sleep the last few night as I'm always checking on the big guy. He's been very restless in his water and can't seem to figure whether he wants in it or out of it.
Today, he came to me and acted like he wanted out of his water. I lifted him out and set him on the floor next to me. He immediately started climbing up on my lap. My first reaction was one of appreciation thinking he wanted to sit with me. That reaction was replaced quickly with "oh, crap" From his body and head position and the look in his eye I could tell he was being a little to friendly, if you know what I mean. I started laughing but quickly got up when I though he was about to bite my shirt. It wasn't a mean bite but a love bite as they grab the neck skin of their mate and clamp their claws on the female's shell.
It became obvious to me what tank is going through. He's in "Heat" and looking for love in the wrong place.
This time will pass in the next few weeks and I'll have my boy back. For now, we're all watching out for the wildman turtle. I hope the dog is smart enough to avoid him.
I love Tank but not as much as he loves me right now

This little cutie arrived here this morning and still needs a name ... He's my second Western Hognose.
