We haven't seen the sun for 3 days, and had rain since yesterday morning.It's been warm this fall but the temps have been dropping since yesterday, supposed to get well below freezing tonight. I went out after the rain stopped about 2 pm to turn Walkers overhead heat on while he was out grazing and bring in a hypo RES that for some reason didn't want to hibernate, when I picked up the RES I saw a hatchling box turtle sitting next to the container it was in. At first i thought it was one of the hibernating box turtles that had gotten out of the area where they are.But now I'm sure it is one that normally would not have come out until next spring if it hadn't been so warm this fall,brought out by the rain.it was 42 degrees when I spotted it.I took a pic of it with the tiny-tiny one(the larger one) so you could how big the tiny one has grown,it's hard to tell but the coin is a quarter.Did not find any other new babies today, will look again tomorrow.
