just sex at the beach ? We have had hot and dry summer and so far the fall season hasn't changed that. I've noticed my eastern box turtles more active in breeding than normal this time of year. We haven't had any measurable rain since mid August and had a long dry spell prier to that rain. Only one nest with 4 hatchlings came up so far this year, Hopefully it isn't to late for the others I know are out there to emerge if we ever get enough rain to wet the soil.It's 85 F outside as I write this. Supposed to be cooler with a chance of showers tomorrow morning and then warm back up for the rest of the week.
