Yesterday, I had the luxury of hanging out with the torts all day! Although obsessed with the Sudans...my focus for this day was on Monstro (formerly known as Climber). I got a shot of him when he first emerged ...about 10AM...and settled into his favorite spot in the yard to warm up! After about an hour he was on the move...for about a minute. He dropped onto the northernmost point of the back lawn...and proceeded to munch out...he reminded me of The Flinstone's lawnmower...and I'll tell you why! He started eating at around 11AM...stopped long enough for an afternoon nap...from ~3-4PM ...then right back to it...and didn't stop until he went in for the night at about 5:30. He literally ate for a solid 5 1/2 hours. My backyard looks like it was just mowed...by a blind man...since there are some patches of 4-6 inch clumps. But, for the most part, it basically looks like a giant putting green. The next five or six shot give you an idea...more of a glimpse into a day in the life... enjoy!
