The turtles: June 2006

Friday, June 30, 2006

Michael and Tommy are probably waiting for my tomato harvest to begin(they love eating the over-ripe ones that drop on the ground, lol), and Godzilla and Dave(the babies) are still living in my kitchen, under heat lamps, and getting a daily meal of yummy worms and vitamins(the vitamins actually smell like Froot Loops to me, lol).

Godzilla earned his name when he attacked the smaller baby a few weeks ago. I was washing dishes in the kitchen when I heard a thrashing about, and lo and behold, but if it wasn't the big turtle baby with his mouth on one of the feet of the little baby! It took me an excruciating amount of time to get those jaws open, but all is well, and now the two babies are separated, safe and sound.

Dave(the littlest baby) is named after a person I know whose movements and facial features are very turtle-like.

Watch this space for more picture updates. I will try to post monthly updates on the babies' progress, and get some new photos soon of Michael and Tommy. ;~}
