snow , the leaf pile still has a lot of heat to it ,the snow won't stick yet ...... they do know when to get in the water .....Those crazy turtles. . . don't they realize it's COLD out there? Is that a bit of snow, or is it frost?
we get 60 wednesday too , but that looks like the end of it .... you look a bit better , but it doesn't appear to last more than a day or two .... i think the box turtles will not be out again this year ....i been looking for any that are out .. a few were actually out pretty late this year .......It's been cold here this weekend too. Got down below freezing at night and windy and 50s with more clouds than sun during the day. By mid week should be upper 60s to mid 70s. Hopefully.
I walked around my three toe yard today and found my favorite little one just sitting out in the open with swollen shut eyes. Dang it, anyway! Looks like I'm gonna have an indoor box turtle over the winter.we get 60 wednesday too , but that looks like the end of it .... you look a bit better , but it doesn't appear to last more than a day or two .... i think the box turtles will not be out again this year ....i been looking for any that are out .. a few were actually out pretty late this year .......
