I don't seem to get on here much lately, but here are some recent pictures of the turtles and Solo. The flowers haven't come up yet, so it's not as pretty as it will be in the mid Summer.
Here's Solo, so happy to be outside again. (don't remember if I posted these or not...sorry if I did.)

This is a little male Eastern that was confiscated from a school room and had bad care, and since he can't close his shell, he can only go out for the Summer. When I got him his shell was soft and he looked a lot worse. He's eating everything now and enjoying the sun outside for the first time. Don't know how old he is but they said he might be over 5 years.

Here is 4 little one's that were inside for the Winter and this is their first time outside. They will go in the big garden with the others this Summer.

And here's some of mine in the turtle garden this Spring. No flowers yet.

It looks beautiful now. You must do a panaramic view when the flowers are out. Your tort and turts all look very happy to have that long cold winter over.

I have some three toed's, eastern's, and two Gulf Coast's. This is a picture from last year. It's on the side of my house and is only 22 ft. by 7 ft. Not too big, but with all the plants they have plenty of places to hide and get away from each other. There is a cave toward the back on one end.

Lynne...I am the "treat" lady. LOL When ever I go out there I always carry a treat. Some kind of fruit or worm. When they see me they all come running.

This is a very very nice enclosure. So, so nature looking. All your torts looks happy and health. I can learn something from this. Thanks you for sharing it to us.

There are 7 in there that I know of. I have two in the house. There might have been eggs in there from last Spring or Summer, but I never take any in, so I would know unless I see a baby if there's more. Most are from a rescue and some are from friends.
