Thread: guess what i fished out of my pool........

And you could use the shell for an ashtray
Andrew

on my home from tonight......i stopped at the bottom of the street....to watch the people fishing as i normally do......
and i got talking to one of the guys there that seemed to know me......he is one of my neighbours.....
but i dont know which one........
anyhows.......i mentioned the turtle......and he said it was his......or his sisters really......
she had it in her house that was being rented out....when the tenants left......she found that in the pool or pond.....
or whatever......
so he said to her that he would take it and put it in his pond........it was there for a couple of days then disappeared......

i said to him ive found it.......

we both found it amusing how it all happened.......ive got no idea where it is now....i will go out and have a look for it tomorrow......



hows that for fate......i tell one other person....and it just happens to be his......
i havent spoken to anyone else in the street about it.....i just find it all a bit freaky........

bet it was Donatello.

cowabunga........


do i need to watch out for a killer rat.......?

I have a question for you, would the said Turtle/Tortoise would that not be an "Australian Eastern Long-Necked Terrapin" and a great carrier on Saminella???? and should be handled with care and hands washed thoroughly, as I remember being lectured by a vet about this a few years ago, as we have a large dam next to our place and they regularly go walkies across the road, and we have to rescue them from "Caring" motorists that aim for them

cheers

It is the year of the Rat so you may get him calling in to look after his mate!!!

there has never been an Ozzie Terrapin , that is an American term.All turtles CAN carry Salmonella as can ALL raw chicken, the Salmonella scare thing was brought about by the Red Eared Slider which was sold as a Dime Store Turtle in the 60s, and there were cases of salmonella attributed to the turtles, as American kids were putting them in their mouths.
