It's been raining so much here, my turtles are living in a swamp. Lickily they don't seem to mind.

Looks great. If I was a Box turtle, I would want to live there.

Do you have any close ups of your boxies? They look amazing.

You can't really see much besides their shells here, but here they are. I took this one last Oct.right before they came in to sleep.

Bottom center...if you ever have time, I'd like to see a close up of at least him. If not no worries, great group you have there!

Your boxie garden is fantastic, and you have some great looing boxies there.....full of color. The more rain the better, as far as the box turtles are concerned. They seem to love it.

The orange male is significantly larger than the yellow one, but he just doesn't seem interested in the girls, I've never seen him mating. The younger male is very eager, though inept, so I've got my fingers crossed. Thanks for the compliment about the pen, but compared to yours it's kinda like a box turtle trailer park. It's OK though, because these are hillbilly turtles.

Thanks Doc. It's an old wire corn crib. The tree inside was intended to be a natural perch for Satyr Tragopans about 15 years ago, but it grew so slowly that it never worked out for that. But, it's perfect now.
