So brutally dry. This log borders the pond, and is typically a mud pit. Turtles keep digging new areas and such. Will be running the sprinkler for a few hours tomorrow morning...

I wish I could share some rain with you Adam. In my part of the mid Atlantic it's been monsoon conditions for a couple weeks. Dulles airport recorded 5 inches overnight a few days ago.

That's crazy. I could use a bit of that. Watering trees and plants 3 times a week gets old.

April was the coldest in like 50 years here. May was the wettest in like 100 years. July was the driest since the 30s. Brutal.

It's turkey. There's some cooked chicken in there somewhere. I give them F/T mice as well, but not often. Eggs and different kinds of worms. That's about it for 'meat.'

Looks great. Do the red bellies and the box turtles seem to leave each other alone?

I started this thread to share my turtles and their enclosure. I'm glad I found a forum to do so, and learn so much fromc was
I others. But I figured that I should also e ok share my failures. One of my prized females has past away. She was alive when I moved her fromx the fridge to the outdoor leaf pile. I had not seen her out and about yet, so I went looking for her tonight. To my severe disappointment, I found that she was dead. She had not moved from where I placed her approximately 3 weeks ago. She is still fresh, but rigormortis has set in. I can't explain how devastated I am at the moment. She is in the 1st 3 photos above.
