Tank is heading into a difficult month or so. I've seen this for the past 2 years (since he matured sexually) Spring and Fall he goes through a very restless stage. I've named this time for him "The call of the wild" He goes to the front sliding door and wants out. I feel bad that he won't be able to breed but it's best for him. We all tolerate his wandering and lost looks.
He is the most amazing turtle I've ever worked with. The last 4 mornings he's gotten out of bed when I came into the living room. We spent sometime outside the other day and Tank never left the property choosing to stay close to me. Tank just tipped the scale at 16 lbs.
I wish all of you could meet and spend sometime with Tank.

Haha reminds me of that TV commercial where the neighbour says his lawn needs bleach and that bees can't see turquiose(or something like that)... Wish I could find it.

I don't much care for spiders anymore... I'll take a picture of our porch/sunroom that we cannot use with out having half a freaking million spiders drop down on you. It is infested! They have breached to inside my house and declared war on me! They drop on me by the fridge, by my scorpions tank, by Ifrit's (beardie) tank, in the bathroom, by the tv, above my bed, EVERY FREAKING WHERE! I'm tired of them and found the equivalent of a nuclear warhead. Tomorrow I strike back.

I normally would never use a pesticide but this is too much, I've mashed every sac of eggs, I've squished and swatted n splatted hundreds already and destroyed all their webs three-five times in the past couple months and within two days it's like I never touched it.

I have to use wasp killer too...
Huge nest on my garage, I had put up one of those paper fake ones to hopeffully get them to vacate peacefully.... They bombarded it, tore it down. I cannot walk near that side of the building. Buddy of ours(drunk fool) thought sticking a can of monofoam (triple Expanding foam) would block them n kill them... He shoved the nozzle up there n sprayed... 20mins or less they had a new hole and were pissed.

Then a different friend(even dumber ...I don't care for his company most days) Decided that his can of bear mace would kill the wasps... He sprayed the whole can on the nest... I told him... it wouldn't kill them, just piss them off, don't do it. He had to cause he is ALWAYS right eh. They SWARMED out so fast! I was watching from inside my house. Laughing my butt off. as he came running back inside. My gut hurt I laughed so hard.

Funny how I'm always told, your wrong at first, but them get proven right... Much amusement.

I do not blame the wasps for being pissed off, But they gotta go.
