One day I will learn...

to keep my camera in my pocket! - especially after "spraying-down" their hide, enclosure and them!

I set the nozzle on "Mist" after letting the water run until it got hot.. and 'misted' their hide, etc. That seemed to inspire them.

Fifteen minutes later I went out to "lock-down" the 'tort building' for the night.. after locking the 'office' building where the camera was.

He was all over her chasing her thru the water dish and finally caught her.. soon after mouth agape!!!

Soooooo.. I had to go in the house and get the key to unlock the building to get the camera!

I went around to get this shot and he spooked. Keep in mind this is basically in the dark -

Everytime it rains.. they fall in love...
