Thrall FD, Wilco Deputy, Wilco Animal Control, Texas Wildlife, Texas Game Warden, who else can they call? Ring, ring. "Hi. This is Thrall PD. Can you come out...?" Well we found the last caiman. It's in a tank behind the across-the-road neighbor's house. I went. It was. But a tank in Texas is different than a tank in New York. I'm looking for a little troth that we can dump the water out of, turn sideways and grab the darn animal. Not so much. A "tank" ...

Oh, What a Day!

I took the boys out to the property at 0-dark-thirty this morning to start the resurrection. Along the way I was visited by 2 neighbors from down the road and a newspaper reporter from Taylor and then went and met my neighbors from across the street. I hope we worked everything out. I hope it's all cleared up. I had a nice chat with the gentleman across from me and he seemed like an ok guy. I gave all of them my phone number and told them that if there ever was a problem to let me know and ...

I got a phone call from the Williamson County Communications Center.�There was a Deputy at my property.�It seems that someone (or the weather) came on my property and knocked down one of the walls of the new enclosure and Angel was on the loose.�I drove out and met the Deputy and lassoed Angel, and with the help of Ryan, Cody and Terri, we wrangled the girl back into her pen and put the wall back up, temporarily.�I will need to get out there and do a better job.� Funny thing is, the Deputy ...

Croc Pond - July 1st Edition

caimanhunter — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 04:35:03 GMT

We figure we'll build the walls with cinder block. 5 feet high, then greenhouse the top for the Texas "winter". Pond is 2-3 feet deep and is 19 x 13. Perfect. Cinder block will do us good. Insulation-wise, weight, thickness, ease of stacking, easy to set. My partner owns a paver company. He loads pallets of pavers on the trailer all day long. This will be a breeze. We'll go by Home Depot, get some block, and set to work. We pay in advance for 6 pallets of 8x8x16. First ...

This is my first time using a ceramic and I'm unsure where to place the sensor

Is it on top of the substrate underneath the ceramic?
