Okay...I just clicked on that link and it said to look at the northeastern quadrant...but the link doesn't show the shower anymore. It says go outside between 10:30p and 4:30a....what do you think would be the best time to wake my son up and take him outside?

Fall must be on its way. Tank(24 pound,Chelydra serpentina - Common Snapping Turtle) is now sleeping at night under his bookcase and taking afternoon naps there. Right now he's lounging on his blankets in the living room. He's all stretched out without a care in the world. Kids and dogs walking by and a vacuum running don't concern him at all, he never flinches or appears worried by anything. Once into Winter held sleep for 24-36 hours at a time. Only getting up to use the bathroom, get a drink or eat. Otherwise he sleeps.
I've never seen a turtle more comfortable in his shell then Tank.

The Tankster! Hey...what is going on with all the technical issues on the forum? Editing is a complete nightmare and I just did a search for my snake thread and when I tried to click on it, it said I didn't have permission to access the thread!

No idea. Reboot your computer.

I just did before I tried to access the link I searched for. For some reason it is letting me access the link you posted for me though. Thanks.

What browser are you using Marnie?

Google Chrome. I don't know what it is doing in other parts of the country, but we just had a major storm and we were in a tornado warning for a while. We just recently had a tornado hit our area a couple of months ago that did damage to homes near me. Today, we had seriously high winds and my entire backyard is flooded. When the tornado warning came in and they told us to seek cover, I sent my mother, son, and the dog into the basement. I stayed upstairs and refused to leave the snakes. I said, "If the tornado hits the house, I will throw all of the snakes in a pillow case and get down to the basement as fast as I can...but there is no way I am leaving my snakes!". The snakes seemed to sense what was going on too...I had to take Sadie out of her enclosure and hold her because she was freaked out.

Air pressure changes, humidity, vibrations from the stormy weather. There's all sorts of animals that can reliably "foresee" bad weather arriving so I don't see why garters would be different.

yea my if chihuahua hears anything close to thunder he freaks out a little bit but if its going to storm like it did last night he freaks out, running around panting hiding or jumping over the baby gate and hiding in the darkest place he can find. its really just a big pain in the ***

Mine does that too. Has ever since the last major forum software upgrade. When it happens just go to the browser address window and delete everything after the .html part then go. Hmm... just tried that and it appears that bug has been fixed. No need to do that anymore.
