Mine are all up in the South. We had a very cold Winter, relatively speaking of course. Everything seems to be in good order.

The Winter was very wet, but the Spring has been dry. I have noticed a lot more aquatic activity with the box turtles. A female Florida and a female gulf coast box turtle were both observed underwater, chowing down on the furry algae that grows on the surfaces of the pond liner. I have never observed that before. It's strange that I would see it twice in the same season!
