    Desert Tortoise still hibernating.

    Romeo (15) is STILL hibernating. I can see his foot..... This is the coolest May in 40 years, but I'm concerned. He did come to the threshold a month or so ago, and went back in.... his opening faces North, but STILL? It's been in the 90's the past several days, nights around 60..... suggestions?
