They are beautiful and so tiny They really look pretty in the leaves.

Thanks Fran. You will be shocked when you see them in 6 months. They grow very fast during the first year.

I added a touch of MB Pink Lady to a tank of Grants Custard. It’s really nice!

Can I babysit???

Of course! I was meaning to ask about your box turtles. Did they lay this year?

No, I haven’t had babies in probably 5-6 years. It’s a shame because Duke has a lot of color for a Gulf Coast. I do miss having babies (so freaking cute ), but it’s so much work. And finding homes is problematic. I was down to just my elderly male when someone asked me to take a female they were tired of. I was happy to take her so they wouldn’t release her (death sentence for a captive bred ). I suspect she’s either too old, or disinterested lol. They’re happily living out their senior years together

And you will be keeping the little one with the beautiful markings?

Five week old Caramel Surprise is hitting all the right notes.

Awesome, box turtles are such happy little guys.

@Sugar_and_Spice , did you mix up those tobacco extracts I sent you ? If so, they should be close to steeped by now. It has been four weeks or so, right ?

It's going to be hard.... I've been getting offers for her from my fellow breeders that are difficult to ignore.

It’s MB... depends on the person. From reviews, get guava/strawberry, others get hibiscus in various combos. I only added one drop to a full tank. It’s not too sweet so far, sort of tropical fruity? Maybe strawberry with a citrus bite. Someone on here recommended it, maybe @PJReid ???? I still haven’t put up my last Chefs order, so it was handy on the counter to test.

Sounds pretty interesting

I need to sft, but I think it has definite potential

Let me know what you think of it after you try the sft.

 

[Shadav]

I don't have the red touch that PJ mentioned so I don't know what it brings. I like tpa strawberry ripe and inw shisha strawberry mixed.

I don't either.... I use fw strawberry, which really isn't too bad but added TFA Ripe Strawberry to round it out, then now I also add Euro Flavor Sweet Strawberry (it was on sale for $0.99)

 

[Skeebo]

Sale is up at Bull City. I just placed my order.

Yes I did. Trying them put now. I think the Louisanna Red is the front runner. Thanks so much.

They are all so gorgeous and your pics are absolutely stunning, no one here has seen your 'mod shots' huh?
