Buried under all this snow are three wading pools

containing hibernating juvenile box turtles born

from 2001 to 2004.



I almost died from exhaustion on Wednesday getting

all their "habitats" covered and surrounded by hay

before the storm came in. The only thing I didn't

get on is the tarp I normally cover them up with.



I put the hay on in flakes, so it is pretty dense.



My red eared sliders are in the pool in the corner,

kept mostly thawed by a heater. Yesterday it was

so cold, only the water surface close to the heater

was thawed.
