Anji, those cases don't last forever.

I know, but at your current rate, it would last a while, and be a whole lot cheaper!!
Can't you just brew some really strong coffee when you need an energy boost?

No energy in Coke Light. Besides, cold coffee tastes like **** and I REALLY don't need to be more hyperactive than I already am.

We had hail-stones the size of peas for a while, but now we're back to steady, persistant, heavy, grey rain. How nice.

It's 19 degrees here, but a bit cloudy at the moment.

It's only 10C here, but at least it's a beautiful sunny day!

I've been messing about with 'PhotoBucket' (never used it before), and with a lot of help from 'The Google Meister' I've been able to upload some video. My problem was my camera records DVD, which had to be converted to video....blah, blah, blah....
Anyway, Stefan sorted me out so if you'd like to watch four and a half minutes of T. s. concinnus doing absolutely nothing at all, here's your chance!

OMG it yawned!

I decided to record a bit as well.
YouTube - Faces of Death
Unfortunately I can't focus or zoom while my digital camera is recording videos, so it's not that great. Can't compare it to a real video camera.

Hi all-- I picked up this guy out of the road on the way home. He's been hit by a car. I called the wildlife rehabbers in my area and there is NO-ONE in our area doing reptile re-habbing!!! The nearest liscensed reptile rehabber is in Northern Va. I'm so surprised!!! I also called to see if my vet could see him but he's out of the office today.

For those of you that know turtles-- are these injuries usually fatal or do you think he has a chance?? The shell is broken just along the front in a couple of places and one front leg appears useless. He is still alive, so I'm looking for an idea of if he could be mended or if he should be put out of his misery.

He is in a small tank, on papertowels, inside of a dark blue tub with a blue heat lamp on half of the tank. So he's dark and warm, for what it's worth. I snapped these pics quick as I didn't want to disturb him more.







Any ideas would be great!!! If he survives the night, I can take him to my vet tomorrow.

Nice video, Stefan. You got some really good portrait shots of your vagrans at around the five minute mark. Lovely. Love the title too!

[adamanteus]

Doubtless you're all wondering how I was able to get such dramatic footage....... well, here's the answer!
