The Boxies are Back!
Over the last two weeks all five of the box turtles who brumated in the backyard came out for spring. It was our first winter letting any turtles stay outside, and I was nervous. Here's a photo parade of all of them as they dug up for the spring.
Damien our male Desert Box Turtle |
Bubba a Gulf Coast Box Turtle (too young to sex) |
Sally a female Three-toed Box Turtle |
Cinnamon a male Three Toed Box Turtle |
Crunch a rather shy male Three-toed Box Turtle |
Hooray! Glad that wintering them outside was successful and that they're back to brighten your spring.
ReplyDeleteCool! True story: I used to have a box turtle as a pet but it ran away.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see they managed their winter hibernation without any problem. Damien is a particularly handsome fellow.
