I had one of my hatchlings from 2008 come up in mid January. I think that that little one has some "season confusion". He/she spent all last winter indoors being fed and prepared to be placed in my outdoor enclousure. I noticed that one of the two hatchlings I put out last spring spent alot time buried throughout the summer. I suspect that that little turtle was the one that came up in mid January. I kept a good watch on my "winter turtle" and buried it back under some loose soil and about 8 inches of leaf litter later that afternoon. I've seen no sign of him/her since.
See the "Winter Turtle" thread below for some pics.
