image.jpgAfter being off food for almost 3 months, and in and out of sheds and aestivation, Jordan ate! We have been trying different foods, changing his enviornment both aesthetics and heating but nothing worked. Ironically, he only lost a minimum amount of weight. I offered him waxworks this morning and he wound up taking 4 total. So hopefully this is a turnaround for Jordan. Oh, Jordan is a 4 spot PacMan frog juvenile.

Good for Jordan.

He was offered waxworms not waxworks.... Lol. Typo.

Any updates on Tank?

Any updates on Tank?

Nothing much. He continues to be docile and engaging. He wants to spend most of his time with me. I can't even go to the bathroom without him following me. He sits outside the door until I come back out. Then it's back in the living room for more face-to-face time. He is a hands-on turtle. My once in a lifetime turtle. I have learned so much about this species only because Tank let me into his world. These are intelligent turtles and not the vicious animals many think they are. If threatened, they will defend themselves.
Thanks for your interest. You can find Tank on Facebook @Tank Gilfillan. He also has a web page, tanktheturtle.com.

I do not have Facebook but the website is awesome; thank you.

Very nice Natrix maura, Thamnophis. I'd love to have a Natrix in my "collection".

I'd post a picture of my other pets, but I doubt anyone would be interested in seeing a guppy tank.

I'd be interested in seeing the guppy tank - I raised them years ago. A house fire from a faulty aquarium filter and or light made me give up my tanks.

This photo is a couple years old but it shows the relationship I have with this wonderful snapping turtle. Tank just turned 12-years old and continues to be the most docile and interactive reptile I have every worked with. The Common snapping turtle is a very unique species and a smart one.
