Leroy! The other tortoises and the box turtles are currently brumating. But the leopard tortoise, native to Africa, is a non-brumating species, so Leroy stays awake year round. His wooden house is insulated and has a heating element in it.

Loving the pond life. The days of confining glass tanks are far behind them.

Elwood is doing very well here. Prior to DOTTS, he spent 45 years indoors in tanks, but those days are far behind him. 🙌 #muskturtle

This was when we first put Elwood the musk turtle into his new home. After 45 years of small tank life indoors, he’s in heaven here and we are so happy for him to experience this.
