for a couple of hours. When my gf and I got back I
noticed Tommy was MISSING. I couldn't believe it,
I kept looking around the tank trying to find reason,
but, no doubt he was gone. We searched every back
wall, box, and crevice we found nothing. I was starting
to get really scared and images of turts I had seen on the
net with cracked shells and blood everywhere came to my
mind.
After 15 long minutes of searching I found him
behind a bookcase (I had to move) sleeping, safe, and with no
cracks in his shell. --sigh--
Now, I really thought Tommy had not survived his escape
cuz where i have my tank set up. My tank is at the edge and
elevated on top of a large "shelving area." Here's how I think
his escape route was:
Since the water was too high at the time, he was able to climb
out to the back of the tank.
Then move left, thank goodness because to the right looks no bueno.
He probably proceeded to the end of the "shelving area," then jumped
off. Moving towards the back of my dresser and bed where's its darker.
Then finally making it to underneath the bookshelf where its dark and
enclosed.
Its really a blessing Tommy wasn't hurt or anything, I mean the drop
is at least 4 feet with hardly any cushion. --Sigh-- First Candy now this
I dont think i can take anymore yo.
Peace.
