Winter update on the group (pictures!)

[Redstrike]

It's been a while since my last update with the group. I snapped some shots while they were eating this evening and thought I would share. All my tortoises are from allegraf here on the forum. She produces amazing hatchlings and is an absolute joy to do business with.

Coagi doing what s/he does best


Partners in crime (Coagi left, Mimosa right)


I'm finally starting to hit a groove with Mandarin. Here s/he is chowing down



Rafiki is really marbling nicely and s/he grows like wild! The brut of the group for sure and s/he is happy to remind all the others that s/he is dominant


Mimosa is starting to marble, which was a real surprise to me, she showed no signs initially, we'll see how much comes in



Roll the marbles!


Love it when they whip out the stink eye


For those interested in the lineages:
Coagi - unknown...nest found outdoors
Rafiki - Lemon Head
Mandarin - Oren
Mimosa - Rambutan

Happy Holidays!

Always love seeing your updates Chris. Alegra's babies are the best, and you are doing a great job with them. Rafiki is my favorite. I love marbling.

Thanks Terry

How are all those box turtles doing? Any photos from the summer? Maybe I missed a post of your previously...I'm not on here much but I'd love to see how your gardens turned out this summer. Direct me if I missed your post(s).

I finally picked one of these up, should be helpful for maintaining optimal conditions in my enclosure.



Yep, simulated sunrise & sunset, humidity control, and very tight temperature regulation. So pumped!

I don't remember if I posted anything on this forum with Summer pictures, but here's another post from another forum that I did post on. I never have time anymore for anything.....better days ahead, hopefully.

The boxies and your gardens are marvelous, Terry! I loved the last picture, it really cracked me up!

Thanks Charlie, I hope your trifecta of trouble is doing well in all that Florida sunshine!

Great pics. Congrats on the new toy. I don't remember, did you ever post a pic of the whole enclosure? Would love too see it

TerryO OMG. My yard looks like yours in the last pic of your thread listed above. I don't know how you do it, knowing there are turtles under all that snow. It would drive me nuts worrying if they were okay. I don't think I could do it.

Barb, I have a link at the base of my signature that shows the whole enclosure, I believe it is the second link not the first.
