THE CROCODILES ARE CRYING

Endless visions fill my head – this man – as large as life
And instantly my heart mourns for his angels and his wife
Because the way I see Steve Irwin – just put everything aside
It comes back to his family – it comes back to his pride

His animals inclusive – Crikey – light the place with love!
Shine his star with everything he fought to rise above
The crazy-man of Khaki from the day he left the pouch
Living out his dream and in that classic 'Stevo' crouch

Exploding forth with character and redefining cheek
It's one thing to be honoured as a champion unique
It's one thing to have microphones and spotlight cameras shoved
It's another to be taken in and genuinely loved

But that was where he had it right – I guess he always knew
From his fathers' modest reptile park and then Australia Zoo
We cringed at times and shook our heads – but true to natures call
There was something very Irwin in the make up of us all

Yes the more I care to think of it – the more he had it right
If you're going to make a difference – make it big and make it bright!
Yes - he was a lunatic! Yes - he went head first!
But he made the world feel happy with his energetic burst

A world so large and loyal that it's hard to comprehend
I doubt we truly count the warmth until life meets an end
To count it now I say a prayer with words of inspiration
May the spotlight shine forever on his dream for conservation

…My daughter broke the news to me – my six year old in tears
It was like she'd just turned old enough to show her honest fears
I tried to make some sense of it but whilst her Dad was trying
His little girl explained it best…she said "The crocodiles are crying"

Their best mate's up in heaven now – the crocs up there are smiling!
And as sure as flowers, poems and cards and memories are piling
As sure as we'll continue with the trademarks of his spiel
Of all the tributes worthy – he was rough…but he was real

As sure as 'Crikey!' fills the sky
I think we'll miss ya Steve…goodbye

Have 11 eggs, 4 collapsed today, took them out. They have been incubating since July 1st when the mama layed the eggs. Dug up, put in plastic container with vermiculite and peat moss. Keeping temp @ 85-87 degrees with heat lamp in tank, but lost power last week and temp went down to 72 degrees for 6 hours. Any input. Will eggs be ok. Have not touched the eggs since putting them in the container. Mist with water, followed all instructions I could find. Now just waiting to see if they will hatch. Last litter was 9 eggs with 4 hatching (which was a good ratio) Any tips or advise would be greatly appreciated. Mama was killed month ago by neighbors dog (got out of yard and bit shell) so no other turtles in pond will be mature for another 2 years to lay eggs. Really want to hatch the last offspring of mama turtle. Please advise and help greatly needed and wanted. FYI - Dog owners were greatly apologetic, but life goes on.....

I keep them in a large tank which has a ramp allowing them to climb out. We recently put a combustion heater in our family room and now Tiptup likes to climb out of the tank onto the ramp. She never did this before. Why do turtles do this? The water is cooler than the ambient temperature so it isn't because she is too hot. Is it to bask in the heat? If you don't know the answer do you know any websites I can refer to?

hi, i had 9 corn snake eggs, 2 died, 6 look perfectly healthy but 1 of them seems to be in a very sorry state. he had trouble getting out of his shell so i helped him, he seemed stuck to the shell and compared to the other shells his one was extremely dry. after i carefully helped him out, his skin seemed really dry and almost like he has shedding stuck all over him, i gave him a small luke warm bath and put him with his brothers and sisters in his new home. the two most worrying things i noticed are under his skin he looks as if he is bleeding internally, obviously i'm not a vet but that's the only way i can describe it, and also, he appears to have broken something, which looks like his spine, just before his tail starts. his movement is awkward and his neck seems unusually skinny. he doesn't seem to be able to control his movement very well and he can't wrap his tail round my finger like the others do. what can i do to help him? do you think there's any chance of survival?
