I want one of those Bellowing Acres t-shirts. I think I'm getting me one of those Bellowing Acres t-shirts. Here, hold my beer while I go order. EDIT: I ordered a t-shirt in the heather blue, the logo for your sanctuary is really nice.

So cool! We have a pond that is sand and clay bottomed and keep it very clean with barley extract concentrate that we get from 123 ponds here in Florida. It takes a kicker dose and then smaller amounts for maintenance, adding a bit more for heavy rain or super hot weather. It is 100% non-toxic and might help your need to drain every week. Our pond is 100’x50 and often home to gators, otters, turtles, snakes and a lot of fish! 5 gallons last us just short of a year but I know they carry up to 55 gallon drums. The sanctuary is amazing! May it grow and thrive beyond your Florida wildest dream!

Everyone is right about the grass. I follow a sanctuary that is in Texas and they have longhorns so he plants rye grass in the winter because it is easy to grow and it's great for cold winter temps but once that summer heat hits the rye grass dies back and since your area of Florida gets hot like Texas I'm afraid you will lose your grass soon too.

Chris casually talking while holding a wild, albeit, tiny, snake....🤣🤣 That's when you know he's immersed in what he does. I'd be shrieking like a banshee if I came across a snake of any kind.

Question for you: If you keep feeding them to they just generally lose motivation to even attempt to escape after a while in your experience. I was at a local zoo where they were telling me that about cougars. They said basically after some time they can start to get kind of lazy. It's not a guarantee of course, but it's just what she found.
