New House Mates

Hello everyone

Today we had a couple of new additions to the Oi House. Introducing Ari and Lloyd. Both will be staying with us for the year and although our apartment is nice and cosy already, we thought we had enough room to take on a couple of extras.
Their room isn't fully set up yet, but it is coming along.

See below for a couple of pics we took tonight of our new house mates.

Ari


In this one you can see them both, Lloyd is at the back sticking his head up, and Ari is up to mischief at the front of the picture.
Bonding.

Exploring their new surroundings.

Ari and Lloyd are both Mississippi natives, and are settling into their new room, Ari is currently tucked away sleeping in a corner and Lloyd is keeping a lookout attached to the rock.

PM: Ari and Lloyd are my birthday presents to myself. I have always wanted to have a turtle and now I have two!

  1. Something to keep in mind for October 2010:

    Beef stock

  2. Grant wants to know about the shells.... Perhaps to hang from the back-pack on the Trans Siberian - or maybe as a night-light?
