Happy Turtle Day

Forums:

Didn't know this was a thing until today, but at least it's not one of those Hallmark holidays.

Take a turtle to lunch. Cue up a Terrapin. Leave a holiday greeting here for our own resident testudine.

nice.

my ex-wife's mom saved a giant tortoise from some mexican fellas that were gonna make soup...it was over 100 yrs old. likes hibiscus flowers.

 

This is an active time of year for female turtles laying eggs.  Great holiday!!  And i did just see one on the edge of the road this afternoon. Was on a landscaping job in WI about 12 years ago and got to watch a female painted turtle dig a hole, lay her eggs and then cover them up. Absolutely could not tell the ground was disturbed when she was done.  Just amazing!

Happy Day
