I'm on the way out the door, but I wanted to share something I'm just crazy about. I got my two new hatchling Geomyda japonica in this morning. This is a big thing for me, it's a step towards more dreams. I had a group of adults years ago, but I sold them for something else, a move I have regretted for many years.

Yep these guys are spectacular. Mt favorites are Spinoza and galbinifrons. These guys are up on the list too. I missed a nice small group from Eric few months back. I'm really missing the wagon on all these great turtles. Need to hurry up on my other greenhouse.

Yeah, that's a pretty nice one. I'm going to take some pics of both of them in a few minutes.


There's a break in the storms but I took a couple anyway. When the clouds come back I'll take some more without the flash. They're both beautiful turtles, you can see the quality of husbandry these came from. I isn't stop looking at them, it's a crazy sight to see.

Wy is there a question mark in the title?

It was directed at myself, it's a tough decision. There a like 5 turtles fighting for that spot, in my opinion. Call me ASAP!
