Almost always box turtles on the road will be male, hunting for a little nooky. Generally, their tail is thicker, and the width extends down farther than females, at least in the Gulf Coast variety. I don’t think most people would want to flip a snapper over just to see what it is lol. But….The babies here have a beautiful greek key design on their plastron. And, nope, no idea if their mamas and daddies do. I like all ten fingers right where they are

You are lucky to have one. I love boxies, but state laws here in Arkansas make it a no go for me. I have a friend who took ownership of her father's box turtle when he passed. She has had it for 23 years and her father had it for 51 years. She believes it's around 80 years old at least.

Speaking of snapping turtles, there are videos on Youtube where people actually let them bit them on various parts of their body. The guy getting caught on the lip was playing with fire.

    I had my consult with the surgeon for the VNS placement today. I'm scheduled for the 25th. He said I was approved, but when I called my representative, she said it still had to go before the board. I'm so confused! I think I'm in that 99% certain to be approved phase and my rep is just being closed lipped until the 100% approval. She said she wouldn't say anything until I was 100% approved. Having a surgery date does push the board into making a quicker decision, though.

    Good luck on the 100%

    The two I have left are “secondhand”, captive bred. I’ve had the male 27 years now, the female 26. I have no idea how old they are, but I know his first owner had him almost 30 years. He’s a crotchety old dude now lol.

    It’s built now :)
    I think Pigs may have figured it out. The 510 pin was loose-ish (not totally tight). Fingers crossed!!
    And just how do know if the pin is loose? Inside the threads?

    What's the recipe? Just checked the blog but didn't see it.
    I think it’s called Lime Drink (recipe below…by MaxSavage I believe is the name) on ATF. I snapshotted it as I want to make it too. Lust Island was another one (I don’t know the mixer’s name)…on my mix list too.

    3% Shisha Lime (VT)
    0.25% Super Sweet (CAP)
    6% Yoghurt Drink (VT)

    vape Mail today:

    I got my 3rd order from Liquid Smith. They sent me everything I ordered + this stuff for Free: (1) 30 mL of TFA Strawberry Ripe, (1) 30mL of TFA Vanilla Swirl, (3) new empty 30mL bottles, (1) new empty 60mL bottle.

    Got 2 orders from Innokin Store. First order was only (1) Zenith D22 in Black, because they'd run out of the SS ones I'd also ordered. (Wholesaler had ordered a bunch, but they'd mistakenly shown up as being available for purchase on the Innokin Store website.) So, they'd refunded me for them + sent a free box of the 1.6ohm Z-coils, too. Second order was 2 more of the Black D22...since I couldn't get any SS. But...I know they're going to get more SS, and they'll be available for purchase, at the same discounted price. So anyone else who missed out on them...hang in there.
    No no no…you have to list out the flavors you got so we can ogle them and kick ourselves for not picking up the same flavors on the first two orders so we can go back and fill another cart. You know how this works…don’t deprive us! :lol:

    Tomorrow should be interesting. I have an appointment with an attorney to devise a will. I just want to make sure my son gets everything. Especially during this time of Covid. Spell it out clearly. He should get it all anyway as he’s my only child and I’m currently single but it will make it easier on him and avoid long and costly probate I think. I’ve been reading it’s important to have a will.

    I think that’s my last appointment for a while…for now anyway. o_O

    It takes the same allen wrench as the deck. I checked it because @Pigs mentioned it as a possibility. It didn’t look or feel loose until I put the wrench in. Time will tell if that was the problem.
