    thanks ladies for your lovely comments about my new hatchling, I wont know for sure about the sex for a few years they both look the same until they are about 4 years old, although in this case the sex is dependant on the temp they are incubated at and this one is more than likely a little lady. Right now about the size of a plastic milk bottle top, but they grow fairly quickly, quite easy to care for, they are mostly hard wired to eat:rotfl:and will eat just about anything. It is a Honduran Wood Turtle and they have the most amazing blue eyes. I have 4 adults, another hatchling [Rolo] and more eggs in the incubator:happyhear
    These guys are one of the reasons my house is a mess:rotfl:

    still managed some flying and tonight I can catch up with bedroom listy while keeping an eye on baby - now I have to think of a name:o
    Sue
    Do I need to eat it :o
    Can I afford the calories:eek:
    have I checked for a lower calorie version:T

    We had the same problem.. plus being large meant the dye was spread further.. did you do them as a pair or individually?

    As a pair!! Will redo them individually tomorrow.

    No Internet here since yesterday afternoon :eek: - so dailies done, started on the kitchen - oven/hob / microwave / fridge. started with a cold so earlyish night but woke at 3.30am and had to watch a bit of Phoenix Nights to send me back to sleep.

    Today, took myself off shopping solo (still hate supermarkets) and erranding. Got back, put it away, dished up last night's leftovers for lunch (warmed it up first :D) - another first. They usually end up in the cat dish cos people are out... Put some clothes away, sat down, internet came back, skimmed thread and forgot to make pizza dough. Doh!

    Haven't looked at the list for today yet - so I'll do that and hopefully get a load done tomorrow. Haven't been anywhere to get a cold - apart from taking healthy MIL out last Friday?!? That'll learn me :D x

    LW/paulie and others thanks for the thoughts. It's a no. They are thinking some sort of gastro infection. Apparently DH had been having kittens for the past couple of weeks as well. Spent 3 months in hospital Jan last year and still have blips. Have had a couple the past few weeks. Just couldn't trust myself with a littly. (((hugs))) and prayers for those who are wanting one.
