Armadillo said:Cos' they grow in my yard and they ain't no peppers! It's "Growing - Other" ...
Fair enough. Continue.
cool pics!
That's a strange way to cook them. I usually just use water in a pot on the stove.
almost looks like a gopher tortoise
This is one of the bestest, coolest, most awesomest thing on this site!!!! That's a wonderful thing you're doing Armadillo, wonderful! I would love to contribute something to their care, is there anything in the states that they could use and I could send? How about a contribution for their dinner bill?
Would you mind if I use one of the pics as a background on my monitor?

Today the fifth babe broke outta it's shell. They are all well.
The best thing you can send is your best wishes. Thanx for that! Actually it's cheap to feed them. They are mostly vegetarians unlike the young box turtles. So we feed them lettuce, bananas, cucumbers, strawberrys, maters... So their dinner bill doesn't increase our's.
And I would be proud for sure if you would use one of their pics as a background. PM me your email addy and I'll send you the fullsize pic instead of the boiled down photobucket version.
On 22nd we will travel to the States for three weeks. We are lucky enough that our house owners will take care of those little critters in that time. They have 30 years of tortoise experience.

It is. With snakes you can often spot the unfertilized eggs right away. The eggs are a little different with a soft, leathery shell and if you don't see the difference you feel it when you move them to the incubator. Turtles and tortoises has the hard shells almost like birds so you usually don't know that they are bad until they start to smell unless you check them over a light.
