The sound and full screen....click on bottom right

Sunny, 75, and low humidity. :)

Looks like a convoy of happy turtles.

I'm guessing your BP is about 100/60.

^^^ The waterfall sound is very relaxing.
Right now the birds are making a lot of racket.

Question about the turtles:

If they lay eggs, how big are they? How big are the babies newly hatched?

Nuthin' a 18-20" Snapper can't fix :D

Here's pics from two different years. I believe I have 3 females and 2 males at this time. The largest female is the only egg layer. I built a sand filled nesting box during her struggle to find a nesting place....none of them hatched.
Being native to FL...I can't replicate a good place for the eggs. After I was sure they wouldn't hatch any more...I cracked one open and there was a dried up orange semi-formed baby turtle.
She only lays 2 or 3 eggs each season. Now, I just let her lay them in the water and I throw them away. You can easily tell before she does...she will be very actively looking for a way out of the pond to a digging spot.

There's a sign on the side of the pond....NO SNAPPERS ALLOWED

I should have also said...all of mine are red slider turtles...native to the southern states.

I've tried keeping MI painted turtles...it doesn't work. They fight to escape until they can't move.

You know Snappers can't read doncha .... ya gotta have a pic of a big ol' ugly Snapper with the red circle-/ thing overlayed :D

Might have to .....I don't want to discriminate. :D

Imagine a dozen of 'em in an aluminum canoe for an hour.

^^^ They are persistent buggers!
