Two days ago, 2 baby Box Turtles were found crawling within 3 feet of my outdoor Box Turtle Pen. Of course, the rain from Hurricane Jeanne's remnants caused them to come out. All of us, (me, hubby, and 2 daughters) have frantically dug throughout the pen to find the "egghole", which is hard!! Yesterday, sadly, 1/2 was found.Today success!!!We have found the "egghole", 2 more babies, and 2 in eggs which I think are not alive but, I don't give up, they are resting comfortably in a mixture with a low heat light, you just never know. So now I have 4 babies, will post pics tomorrow. The other 2 are eating already, which means they might have been around for a week, (especially if they were 3 feet away, probably like miles to them!), and they join their 2 year old brother (or sister)"Yellow Legs" and 2 1/2 year old Brother (or sister) Shylo. I'll take pics of them all next to each other to compare in size. Right now, they are warming up.

Hope these pics come through. Haven't done this in a while.
So far, babies doing fine. The other 2, I still don't think they will make it. One is out of the shell, I swear my daughter took him out even though I told her to leave him alone, but, only God knows what happened. Anyway, one pic is of the babies next to a quarter, the other one is a picture of the babies next to Yellow Legs, born 9-22-02, and Shylo, born 10-8-02. The parents are Lakewood and Franklynn, (not positive about the mother of the recent babies though).
