    Since there was a bit of interest about the tortoises I was out heading to the shop and they all seemed to be out and about.



    In typical fashion Monster is chasing the other big male away as the female was nearby feeding.



    Monster is a bit smaller in diameter than the other male but has a much taller profile and a far thicker shell and weighs 20lbs more. Here he is looking for position to flip him over.



    So we have this refugee tortoise that was brought to us. This lady found it and did a search and found we are breeders and messaged my wife and asked if we would take it. Not sure what to do with the little guy. For now we just let him roam the place like the others. However he is a male and the big male behind him was about to jack him up but the little guy can haul ass and get away.

    Yeah I couldn't imagine being away that long. If that was going to be the case I would definitely train a gardener for 2 or 3 months before we left so they could keep it in order. You don't realize until back how crazy stuff grows here and how creatures take up home in your place unless someone is watching it. Even with my Niece and FIL here there are things they just do not walk around a see. Like the Bird nest in the grill/bumper of my wife's Pajero.
    We did not expect to be away that long, who could have seen covid coming? Two air conditioners , both no more than a couple of years old, did not work, when the ac guy opened them up there were nests in both of them that prevented the fan from turning.

    Interesting story. We had 2 in the US for about 4 years before we moved back here. We had to sell them both because bringing them here was going to a monster pile of paperwork and shots and assessments etc. When we got here we wanted a few being we really like them just cruising around the place. We found one in BKK. Private seller. Moved to Condo and couldn't keep. Monster my wife found on the reptile Facebook group here. The owner just didn't want it anymore. We did not know they were both males as they were to young to tell. After a few years we knew and wanted to breed them and tracked down a female from a guy in Pran Buri. She was about the same age so we did a holiday road trip, did some beach time and picked her up on our way back. The last big male was given to us. Owner who had him for years posted free on the Facebook site that my wife follows and we went and picked him up. We did not want to see it get let go or neglected.

    They are super easy to care for. They are herbivores and eat grass, they love Mulberry leaves. We have a few little ones left (Not trying to convince you to buy one, just offering). They are about 7 months old and about 4 to 5" in diameter.

    I would love to have one, but right now I don't know how things are going to work out with my long term stay in Thailand. As soon as covid travel restrictions are are removed I want to go to Greece and get a Greek passport, we are considering doing summers in Greece and Winters in Thailand. US is nice but is so damn far , especially FL , you know what I am talking about, you just went through it yourself. As I get older these 24 plus hour trips are getting tougher and tougher.
    Anyway, I will keep it in mind for when I know what my plans are I will let you know.

    Here is the big bastard normal size


    Just what the world needs a couple of smart arse comedians who aren't funny.
    My computer is only 3 months old and I have a 21" monitor because I am not blind.
    So obviously I could change my settings but why does anyone need to post such fukking large files in the first place.
    I reckon at a guess your pictures are 10MB. Its not a dick measuring contest you know, or maybe you don't but bigger does not mean better.
    Get fukked the pair of ya!

    21 inch monitor, if you are not blind, what are you compensating for? I have a 15" monitor on my looptop and it's fine even for JPPR2's large "File" They say it's not the size of the monitor but how you use it. Have you tried moving back a little bit?
    But I can understand how you feel, insulting a man's monitor be fighting words.

    I would go 'loopy" looking at a 15" monitor on a looptop, ha ha just joking we all make mistakes. I know I have made heaps here by not properly checking what I have written.
    Anyway my computer is a cheap desktop with the computer built into the monitor so really I don't have a monitor at all just a computer with a screen which happens to be 21'.

    I don't really give a toss one way or the other but I only have an issue with JPPR's pictures everyone else's are fine, obviously he is special so I will just have to put up with it I guess.
    I never used to have any issue with his pictures so i wondered what he is doing differently these days.

    I have to say, this has been an eclectic thread with subjects ranging from quarantine to turtles to insulting the size of ootai's ahem... monitor. cant wait to see where it heads for next.

    Thanks for the offer JPPR but I will pass at this point in time, hope you are not upset by that since I know the offer was made with great sincerity and care for my well being.

    Anyway back to reality just to show you tossers what I have to put up with I thought I would do a few screen captures so you could see what I see when JPPR posts his dick pictures.

    ASQ fun coming up....-screenshot-2021-09-21-194143-jpg

    ASQ fun coming up....-screenshot-2021-09-21-193730-jpg

    So as you can see 3 screen shots to capture 1 picture. fukking ridiculous.

    saint Willy you stay out of this conversation you aren't invited, its bad enough trying to deal with 2 tossers let alone 3 or more if Buckaroo is included but he seemed to be siding with me a little I think.

    I dont think its the size of the file.
    Think JPPR2 instead of choosing" Large" when selecting a picture
    ASQ fun coming up....-cat-jpg

    should chose "full size"
    ASQ fun coming up....-cat-jpg

    They both look the same and normal size on preview, but when you post it the "large" option for some reason is very big.
    lets see if it worked and you can see the difference after I post it. I bever tried to post the same picture before.

    Bummer, maybe in settings you can adjust something. I am on a 15 inch laptop and the size seems perfect yes its big but you can get the full view. My photos of the same scene to not look like that.

    ^ Ok , so it didnt. work.
    And no I am not drinking. Come and think about it. I should have a drink.
    the point I was trying to make is that it is not JPPR2's fault but the forums software, and not to chose "Large" but chose "Full size" .
    I had the same problem before I realised the difference.
    I dont know why my cat is not cooperating. LOL

    you are right , they are I dont know why , Usually the "Large' option does not fit my page. Perhaps the cat picture was not big enough, I should have tried a picture of my dogs.

    Thanks for the kind words which are much better than that offered by them others.
    Anyway I have tried mucking about with settings and stuff but so far no luck.
    After what Buckaroos said and his experiment I don't know what to think as it only seems to be JPPR's pictures that are an issue for me.
    And it seems strange that it is resolved when he reduces the size of his pictures, so in my mind he must be doing something just to make me think I'm losing my mind.

    Well I'm here to tell you JPPR you have succeeded.
    Plus my computer hates me anyway.
