In case you have ever wondered how turtles get themselves into the craziest of places 🤣.

(Sam is a “mud turtle” that someone tossed about 8 years ago and therefore we became his new family 🐢.)

Line up, line up! It took a ridiculous amount of time to get this picture though 🤣🐢.

Mower and the 5 little pond turtles were eating.

This better be innocent sun stacking ladies and gentlemen 🤣.

Big kid snack time ❤️🐢. Mower is still buried in the dirt 🤣.

The “baby” turtles are in there spring transition tank before moving to the bigger porch “pond” for the summer.

The three biggest will move this weekend, but the two littles will wait another few weeks (to get bigger and so I can monitor there eating).

Sam and Sebastian (the adults) are already in theirs.

Our other turtles are still on and off hiding in the dirt.

The big kids both want the best spot 🤣. Don’t worry, Sam is fine.

Did you miss them 🐢❤️. Meet Tw***ie! She’s a spring baby 🌸.

Spring is here! They are thinking about emerging from their underground homes.

Walking past them in their tank and seeing them stacked like this always makes me smile 😂🐢. They like to sit right where the fountain splashes like it’s raining.

Wait for it....wait for it....😂

Couldn’t figure out why Ghost was yelling at his crate earlier 😂🐢🐶👻. It was his sibling equivalent of, “Moooooom, he won’t get out of my rooooooom!!!” 😂

10/02/2021

I feel like only one of them wants to play 😂👻🐶🐢.

05/02/2021

Omg 😂😂❤️🐢

26/01/2021

In case anyone was wondering what Ghost thinks of the turtles now 😂👻🐢.

Baby Mower isn’t amused either 🐢. Forced participation in Winter life 😂.

Winter is boring for the Porch Turtles ❄️😂. She isn’t amused lol.

Just hanging around on my bark float next to my bubbles 😂

08/12/2020

I mean, why not 🐢❤️😂.

Santa Turtle! She is in love with the filter and the bubbles it makes. She waits for me to turn it on everyday and sleeps next to it 😂🐢. The other ones don’t seem to care about it though.

Peak-a-boo 🐢. It’s nice and warm in our inside habitat ☀️.

30/11/2020

Made them leave the porch to “hibernate” inside 😂. Christmas photo shoot next 😉.

Mower and Sam will be inside later today too. Pond turtles have been inside for a few weeks.

29/10/2020

Walker is always the one getting himself stuck 😂. The only male out of the bunch, typical 😉🐢

26/10/2020

Monday’s 😂. Same feelings buddy 😂.

21/10/2020

BFF’s ❤️🐢. The pond turtles have all (7) been moved inside for the winter!

Peak-a-boo from my fall cave
