Finally here in PA the weather finally woke up my turtles from their long winters nap. Another year of hibernating my turtles and no deaths again. Very happy!

First lets start on an update with my new female i had bought. She had an ear infection, thought id show you how far she has come.

Apparently she was so thankful to me she left me a gift on April 1st, 3 eggs! Lowest amount a dbt can lay basically.
