Life is like a box of. . .turtles.

It's in the things you do, not the things you say that show how you love someone. I can say you're a fat ass, but really, i do it with the utmost love. How can this be? Well, I love my turtles. Zoe is such a big girl, I tell her she's got a big butt. Even though I tell her this, I do things to make up for it. It seems like just a year ago that she was only 4 inches. Oh, wait. She was. This time last week we were celebrating her ! year birthday. And for that special day, Zoe got a pond! See, I love my turtles. Of course, it seems like she's getting further away from me. She used to be in my room until the smell got out of hand. I did not have the money for a good enough filter. So, she moved outside, and I brought her inside at night. Then it got to where she stayed out all the time. Now, she has a pond out further in the yard. But she loves it there. So do the other two.

It's a 160 gallon pond with a filter that will filter the entire pond twice an hour. It's all still in the works, but it works for now. I plan to put rocks around the edges and get a basking spot for Zoe built, because again, she's a big butted turtle who is too heavy to stay afloat on anything else. I wonder how much more I'll have to spend on it.






That's all it is for right now.  In the second pic, you can see one of the smaller guys swimming around.  It's massive in comparison to Jughead and Flash.  Even for Zoe its large, but its perfect.

I hope to eventually have better plant life and maybe some other stuff in it.  I somehow doubt tadpoles will survive in it, but it is possible they will appear at some point in the pond.  I just hope I never find a snake in it.  It's black, so. . . yeah, lets hope.

pond, turtles
