I had this dream that basra the tortoise
(e:paul,54485) dried up and his shell cracked open. He one eye dried off and his arms and legs had dried up into stumps. Even though half of his organs were hanging out his shell and he couldn't really, see he was still alive.
After a serious freakout where we all tried to blame each other for letting him dry out, we scooped him up and held him together with wegmans bags and hangers. Once we got him to the vet, she said she had been conducting research on this type of problem and that she could turn him into a bionic tortoise for ~$20,000 and that he would have his normal lifespan. He would also be able to hook him up to a computer system and communicate directly brain by writing computer programs. As soon as I decided to go through with the procedure, I woke up.
Battle? These things are TINY when they are born - like a few centimetres across!
I was wondering if they would battle or not? Maybe if you feed Basra enough and in spot so he doesn't move for his food they might not.......
I think the Basra might eat the smaller ones.
