Where's winter

I was only 11 when this happened but I think his career took quite a bashing. He was a very popular weather reporter back then, now famous for saying "theres no way of a tornado", followed by complete destruction the next day.
Sorry abramsmytankturtle, back on topic.

no worries, I don't mind the chit chat.

Yeah I was wondering this myself! In fact I had a scare on Sunday, I was cleaning out the pond plants in my little pond when I grabbed one of the plants and one of my male 3 toeds went sinking to the bottom of the pond. My first reaction was WTF is he doing not dug in yet?? My second reaction was WTF is he dead!! And my third reaction was I don't give a poo what my neighbors think, because yes crazy Eric is going to get caught talking to his turtles again after I realized he was fine! Needless to say I chastised him a good one. This time of year we're suppose to be relaxing and now I'm freaking out! Lol!

That's good stuff Eric!!

I just went out and found 3 ornates wondering around the enclosure. Shells extremely cold. I moved them into the outside box and covered up the exit. Now I'm a little worried about doing the outside hibernation vs my garage style.

Since moving to South Texas a couple months ago, I no longer have to deal with this cold weather stuff. Snow? What's that?!

74 and sunny right now , north coast , ohio ..... I've seen three wood turtles , 7 blandings , and one eastern box turtle out sunning themselves today ......... they all were heavy , bright eyed , alert and strong looking .......... a mild winter takes a lot of energy , hopefully it turns soon ............

That sounds like a turtle paradise...

Looks what I've been doing since getting off work today, both enclosures are now covered with leaves.

86 degrees and windy here in South Texas. A short tropical rainstorm this afternoon. The Terrapene, Manouria, and forstenii love it!
