Here are some pics of the herd from last summer.
My daughter posing with a tort.
I never let baby box turtles anywhere near any of the adults, to ensure they are disease free. I also never tend to incubating eggs or babies after working in the outside pens. But I did take one pic of the first golden greek I produced with its mom. I used a baby wipe, and wiped her shell down, washed my hands, then set the baby on, took a few quick pics, then wiped the babies underside down with another wet wipe. I don't think I'll ever do it again, but I wanted to get at least one of these mother and baby shots.
