85 degrees today

[Neal]

This time of year until about April is the perfect time to be in Arizona. It's pretty good if you're a human too.

Now this is a babcocki! Domed shell and good color, she's my pride and joy.

Walking around by the pool.

Coming to greet me.

Male

Can't forget the stars.

Smooth shelled sri lankas!

 

[dmmj]

are the last 2 your hatchlings? or did you buy them?

 

[Tom]

Gorgeous. You are making everyone who doesn't live in AZ hate you right now though. Haha.

We're only up to around 80 here today, but the torts are all loving it.

 

[Kristina]

85*, seriously?

We're fighting.

 

[Seiryu]

[Kristina]

[gummybearpoop]

Is it 85 over here? Seems like 80. Great looking animals Neal. Don'tcha love arizona?

 

[dmmj]

you gotta realize for this type of weather, we have to put up with a lot of california craziness.

 

[Kristina]

That first babcocki is stunning Neal. Did you produce her?

Love the Sris too, but mine is smoother

[CtTortoiseMom]

Wow, April is gorgeous!! Is she full grown? How big is she and what does she weigh?

 

[franeich]

I bought them, my adult stars are mainland Indian stars.

Do you mean the first tortoise? Don't have a name for her yet, havn't weighed her in a few months, but she's close to two pounds probably, about 6 - 7 inches. She was hatched in 08 I believe so she still has some growing to do.

 

[CtTortoiseMom]

Oh oops I misread when you said "in April". And I could not tell her size. But, yes I meant the first one and she really is beautiful.

 

[mstodd]

Wow, beautiful torts . Babies are densely packed cuteness.

Hard to believe it can be 85 anywhere when it's 16 and snowing here.

 

[John]

man you do have some sweet torts,wish it was 85 here

 

[Jacqui]

It was 85 at one point here today in Nebraska!



....course that was inside with the tortoises

Very nice.

 

[Neal]

Sorry to mislead everyone, got in my car and it said it was only 79, when I got home I temp gunned my thermometer and it was 3 degrees off. So not as awesome I guess, but still warm.

 

[John]

i'll take that neal box it up and ship it my way
