Storms have been doing the same for us out in Appalachia. The only positive side is I havent had to mow in over 2 weeks because the grass isnt growing. I'm over the heat the though. The tortoise likes it, I do not!

We had a couple of days of extreme heat. I placed a bunch of large terracotta dishes with water in strategic places for the tortoise to get to if she needed, but she spent most of the time under bushes and under leaves. Yesterday, a huge storm just appeared out of nowhere, but today again is very sunny and hot.

It makes sense that the first set of eggs would be a practice set. Are there the other egg laying critters that do the same? Watching the reptiles eat flowers just tickles me…the tortoises are particularly cute. I do love a big ‘ole snapper; your adults look so so wonderful! So happy to see the Chief doing so well. Thank you for all his care. Health issues kept both hubby and myself inside so we missed this year’s breeding season, when they all come out of the river and marsh behind our neighborhood and wander the yards and sidewalks looking for love. We’ve had the opposite…a lot of thunderstorms. Our poor hurricane rescue, Boofy the Bassett Hound, has spent a lot of days stoned on either CBD or a heavy prescription depending on how bad the storm will be…still scared but not as badly unless it’s right over us. Wish I could send some rain your way.

I live in a hole and all the storms have been going around us this year. The yard is so very dry and crunchy. My favorite part of the video was watering the radiatied tortoises and those little tails just a waggin'....pure bliss! How can we help our yard turtles in this extreme heat and drought when I don't even know where they are? We have a lot of thicket around our backyard so I know they stay shaded, but I don't know if they are finding any water anywhere. I don't want to harm them trying to be helpful!

Oh, hey, do you have any experience with Hermit's tortoises having one nail per back foot that is very "run down" and all others intact and if something should be done or can be done? It grows out a bit during brumation. And I was already wondering if some sort of nail extension with UV curable epoxy or sth. else (whatever is safe to use!) would make sense, for protection till the nail grows back to the same length as the rest? :-\ If you have knowledge on this topic, a video on it would be very very helpful.

Wow. You get the award for the rudest comment we’ve probably ever received. For your information, (and not that anyone owes someone like you a single explanation), we were flown out there and most of the trip was comped because of our work with these animals throughout the years. We were brought out there to give the keynote speech at a big conference and to film many aspects of the work that they’re doing in those countries. Next time, do a little research before making a comment like that. It could have saved you from looking like an utter fool. Take care. ✌🏻
