albert Posted February 28, 2017 Share #7 Posted February 28, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Stuart, I love it. I have always been a turtle nut. This is a painted turtle, not a box turtle. We farmers are smarter than we look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted March 1, 2017 Al - Thank you,. and of course you are correct. I just read an article about how the painted turtle is the hardiest or their family, able to hibernate longer and at lower temperatures than other turtles. When it gets cold again tomorrow it will probably return to hibernation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
