Last soak before staying outside

[shellfreak]

Soaked my "bale" of turtles today for the last time before I put them outside for the rest of the season.

Good looking group of turtles

So pretty! Is "bale" the correct term for a group of turtles? I always call mine a herd.

That's great I hope they enjoy their season outside

Thanks all. And I think a group of turtles are called a bale. I googled it once, but I could be wrong.

They are beautiful! You're lucky. Where I live we have another 1.5 to 2 months before I can put mine out for the season.

Where are you located that it is warm enough for them to go outside. I am asking because I am wondering if mine can now be out.

I live in the tri-state area. They came out of hibernation a few weeks ago when it started to warm up and I brought them inside due to weather. It actually looks like its gonna get cold again Tuesday evening so I will probably bring them in for the night. I might have jumped the gun. But they are itching to get back in their enclosure. They loved the rain today.

How cold is it going to get? Even in the wild this time of year is iffy box turtles will come out of hibernation if it gets cold just bunker down and wait I out, mine always did well outdoors

It was in the low 30's. it's easier for me bring them in then to worry about them all night.
