Shelly that is just dried mud...my guys get like that as well....especially if it has rained and they burrow :}
ascott said:Awesome...and yup we share the same weather....how did they do with the crazy volume of rain and freezing weather at the start of the year? I was not able to leave mine out for the entire winter....actually had to dig em out by hand ....we were subjected to crazy amounts of rain /flooding as we live below the mountains a out a mile below the base.....I have always been an advocate for letting them remain outside 24/7 and pretty much still am....but kinda sucks because I don't know if I will chance it again this coming winter.....?
Very nice....I have spoken with Dave Lamfrom a bit about natural viewing sites that are guaranteed CDT sightings as well as Bighorn Sheep viewing.....I have a friend at DEFY that I was privileged to assist in the release of tort back into the desert out by you...luckily the person who helped the tortoise out had the sense to not allow anything to come into co.tact with the wild tort and called right away so the tortoise was eligible to be put back....so very cool and nerv racking making sure they go back to advantageous spot.....I have four adult males....they all have separate yards as they are all full of themselves LOL my except my old man--he has horrible eye sight and so he has a yard right up next to the front porch and sleeps indoors at night for his safety....
