"Gonna ride past the Stop and Shop..."

Just because they install a bike rack at the supermarket, doesn't mean they have to make it easy to use.

Urban myriapod

I found a kind of millipede previously unknown to me at Ward's Pond, in Boston.

( Some people don't like millipedes; I can't understand why. Two pictures. )

Turtle enrichment

Our turtles live indoors in fairly small (2' x 3') cages. One cage has two box turtles, one has one painted and one spotted turtle. My method of enriching them is to put all four into a large cage (4' x 8') that has a variety of food objects and pools of different depths. The turtles can choose to be in the sun, in the shade, can interact with different species of turtles, can go in the different pools, and can choose from different food objects. Our eastern box turtle likes corn on the cob. Who knew?
