Farting Turtle Sets Off Alarms

[Melody]

I could have fit this in elsewhere I suppose, since its a Sea Turtle, but it really serves no educational purpose so I decided to post it here. (Edit: But then again, I now know more about Turtle flatulance than I ever really wanted to, if that counts)

It was incredibly amusing at 5AM anyway :rofl: .

Definitly a different one for that Christmas story file ;)

I've never had turtles, but it does explain why my Canas smelled so bad after feeding them brussel sprouts ( I have no idea if snails fart ).
The fishroom reeked for days after. :Eeewww:

Hmmm... snail flatulance.... that could happen I should think. Sprouts also foul the water so maybe that contributed. Kale also stinks to high Heaven in the water. I don't use either in my cauldron for that reason and yes, I learned the hard way... I always learn the hard way :rolleyes: . Rotting Kale with a hint of garlic.... YUCK!

I don't think the spouts had time to foul the water, the snails were on it so fast.

Within a couple of minutes of dropping it in, there was a pile of snails on it, next time I went down to look, it was gone !

By the next morning, the whole basement stunk :Eeewww: , I thought my wife was gonna kick my butt.
Thankfully she just gave the 'Don't you ever do that again' speech.

ROFL Have you tried telling her that aquatic creatures are much quieter than spouses?:WhoMe:
