Snappy gets her own apartment!

golfdiva Jul 11, 2005 07:37 PM

Well, the day finally came when my Snappy decided her tank mate looked more like lunch than a friend! So I built an apartment just for her! Here is a picture of it in the backyard, and also 2 pics of the delicate little princess herself!

And yes, she does have 2 ponds! She does wonder around the pen and move from pond to pond.

And yes, that is a chicken! He's not a permenant residence of the pen, he just dropped in for a visit! lol

Very nice and a very lucky turtle. How big is she? And what chicken? (guess my eyesight is worse then I thought)

golfdiva Jul 11, 2005 10:27 PM

LOL! In the upper left picture there is a chicken on the left side of the pic about half way down.

Snappy is about 6.5" (at least she was when I last measured her about 2 months ago!)

Great pictures, nice turtle. I looked really hard for that chicken but I couldn't find it, maybe your turtle had it for lunch.

The chicken is in the top left pic, it's brown and standing almost exactly in the mid left side of the pic... but I saw it first! HAHAHAHAHAHA...

Off-topic...nice pen...lucky turtle.. my kids will get a home like that one day...

Thanks that's great in turn I will send you 22 cats. They all love turtles and will get along just fine with your turtle. Golfdiva check out photo gallery and see one of {your} cats with a tank of pastels.

golfdiva Jul 14, 2005 10:36 PM

Um...er...hummm......I don't see any cats!
