Well, this has been the coldest winter in the Carolinas since I have lived here (about a decade). Quite a bit colder, actually.

Thankfully, the outdoor Florida box turtles and the gulf coasts made it! What a relief! They have all surfaced. The other box turtles are either still buried or in the fridge.

The wood turtles, Blanding's, and Euro ponds were all out basking today.

The turtles and their keeper have had a nice rest. It's go time.
