    60's and wet weather during the summer

    Hey there. Haven't posted in a while. Just curious on every one's thoughts in reference to the temperature getting down to the mid to upper 60's over night when it's in the 80's during the day, but it has also been raining on a regular basis so the outside enclosure has not been able to dry out...

    Tortoise finding friends

    Was turning the mulch this evening in my tortoise pen and one of my tortoises came out of his hide box to see what was going on. So I turned him out in the yard and let him roam around. I went to go get him and found that he made a new friend in my tall grass up close to the house. haha
