Thanks! Well after all i Decided to bring them all in, all 10 of them. Hey at least they had some fun and enjoyed the sun today. as far as plants goes that pen hasn't even taken off yet as far as plants and flowers, there's everything in there! lets see cactus,Hostas, green Beans, flowers, squash, rag weed, spinach, Romain lettuce, Russian tortoise mix and so much more, in two months that tortoise pen wont even look as open as it does now it will actually look like a jungle! and when that Happens trying to find them well wish me luck on that one? But one day my dream of owning my own large green house will come and there will never be a winter again for them or trying to find 10 of them!

I'm in NY too, and I understand exactly what you mean. My turtle garden looks so empty now, but in another few weeks I won't be able to find all the boxies. Only one came up from hibernation now, and I'm hoping he knows enough to go back down because by next week at night it will be in the 40's again. Scary stuff here leaving them out year round.

LOL At first look I did think it was a real turtle and wasn't sure if it was spitting or peeing. It only took about two seconds to realize what it was though.
