>The circle of life...
It happens.
>I heard they're aggressive little bastards, but is there much harm they can do to each other?
The red ears just avoid the tortoise at any cost, and yes, it's so much of a fucking issue I built a blockade to keep their little pond out of reach to the aggro desert monster. But I don't have the cold heart to just give either side away.
>They're mostly there to distract you from that weather, so I guess it makes sense that you don't like them if you do like that.
I'm not into loud exploding noises, because the animals I house obv, I'm not into the rest, because... I guess my thought of it is, why celebrate what you weren't there for. Same for birthdays, I was just born don't mean I need a reminder of it every year. It only matters to me, when I gotta pay taxes or check my income when I receive those forms. Idk man, holidays seem like a selling point for no clear reason.
>How so? Hurricaines and that kind of thing?
I'm Westcoast, but the fruit is growing, and in the past the weight of return on a branch has snapped under it. Or overwhelmed a few pots and seedlings. Oranges, lemons, apples, guavas, and a few others, all good. Just a few I need to consider since it seems it's when they wanna go full bloom. Tbh I can't into the life of me into papaya trees, they grow strong in summer heat, but lose hope in cold weather's no matter what I do.
