Rick M. is gonna hate me for this.

I was working in my backyard yesterday when I came across two baby box turtle hatchlings. I suspect there are more coming.

We have two box turtles that live in our backyard. One of them was here when I bought this house in 2002 and the other one was one my son found on a job site. We noticed they really like to "get it on" right next to our hot tub. I have pics to prove it

I had anything against box turtles; I just can't believe there is enough to post about them to keep that forum listed above us most of the time. Speaking of that, we are falling.

I got Rick to come out of his slumber LOL
Just teasing you Bud.

But truthfully I had never even looked at the box turtle forum until someone posted that they were ahead of us. I spend most of my time right here. I just posted there for the first time yesterday. Here's what I posted.

I'm the same way. I never even glanced at the box turtle forum until someone posted they were ahead of us. My interest has been peaked, though, and I have Michelle's kids looking for a trio for me. Must be nice to walk out your back door, and into the woods. What I don't get is how did that rainbow boa forum sneak up on us?

How could they not sneak up when they are as pretty as this!

Wow...that's a beautiful snake, and a fantastic picture of it. Would that hottie be yours?
Ken

Thanks for the kind words, Ken. Indeed she is mine... the prize of my Rainbow Boa collection!
