It was pretty hot today, 90+ degrees. These guys were just soaking up the sun and eating weeds, sniffing around in the dirt. They have super hyper sensitive noses, they can smell out anything

Only 90? Lucky!
We had a high of 104. My torts were all active in the morning but wanted the shaded burrows well before noon.

Corona.. boo!

But I'm a "chino hillian" all the way. Born and raised in that city and for the first time in my life moved from there and came to corona. Definitely hotter, drier and not as green out here :(

Hey my corner of Chino hills was perfect!

I still do everything out there...I can't admit I am in corona. Lol

I bought some cinder block and caps today to make a tortoise bunker in the leopard pen. I'm going to dig down and bury it in hopes that it will offer a cooler hide since it had been so hot! Not sure how that will go..if I'll like it or if the tort will. If i it works out well then I'll make more..

FWIW I enjoy all this SoCal trash talking. I recently moved from Bev Hills to Toluca Lake in the San Fernando Valley and I feel like I've moved to the surface of the sun this week. It may be good tort weather but it's not good human weather. Someone build ME a burrow.

Im sure an underground bunker will bring the temps down, I did it for box turtles when I had them a few years back and it worked pretty good
