Last night around dusk we had a thunderstorm. The rain was very heavy, there was some wind, lightening and thunder but no hail. My RES Spot lives outside in a pond. I usually bring him in when it storms but this time I left him out. I thought he might find it interesting because he seems to like it when our sprinkler system runs and he gets a gentle "rain" on his pond.
Spot reveled in the storm. He climbed up on his basking rock and held his head high. Sometimes he'd get down and swim around, the raindrops crashing all around him, again with his head held high. He seemed to be celebrating his wild heritage. I could imagine his Triassic ancestors doing the same.
