I wish my property could fly up into the air and go straight to Clovis and plop down, like Dorothy's house did. Block fence, sliding steel barriers, burrows and crazy tortoise happy landscape, and all. Then I could invited Yvonne for tea and sandwiches and a sight visit and I could adopt the little babies. Where is a strong Santa Ana wind gone haywire sideways when you need it? Sigh.

You hit upon one of my main wishes too. I'd love to have a block fence all around my property, with a footing that goes deep into the ground to keep out and in burrowers.

So if my crazy wish to be flown in lock, stock and barrel happens, we touch ground by you. Or if I win MegaMillions, you get an all around block wall for your rescue! Deal. : )

I use a weed eater for this reason, I don't want to whack any more snakes.

I am more afraid of using the weedwackers then my mower. Of course inside of tortoise and turtle enclosures I only use my hand help clippers. I have always had this fear of cutting a hatchling head off.

I'm with you! I would retire from mowing and would be obsessed with finding more. I'm sure if they are there, you will find them.
Desert torts are the ultimate!!

I went out into the desert tortoise yard to give them some broccoli (I get trimmings from Costco) and I found one more:

I found the first three 9/21, not quite two weeks under lights/heat/food, and look at the big difference in size. It was pretty cold last night. I was out this a.m. in my jacket and sweat pants...poor little baby!

Wow! Look at the wee little guy. Do you think he hatched at the same time and has been out there on his own all this time? If that doesn't show you the difference between wild and captivity living, I don't know what does.
