My lonely little Maxwell
My lonley little Maxwell. He misses his beautiful partner Peterson (girl). He has a new friend today. We are testing out a 4 3/4 " Map turtle. He is already riding on her back. He used to ride Peterson like that. He loves her! It looks like he will have a new female partner by Tuesday. A 5" female is on the way. She should be ready to mate, so we will see if Maxwell is interested in her.
Shelly is going to get a friend too. Shelly is an adoption ( 7 year old 3-toed female box turtle).
We are getting a new adoptee, a 3 year old black Russian tortoise. (pictures to come soon, when I figure out how I did the picture of Maxwell. Pebbles a 2" desert box turtle is too little to join them yet, but she will.
So that will make 3 water and 3 land turtles. I do love my turtles. We miss the others, but we hope to have no more "turtle races" soon.
It is 98 degrees here in the cities. Stay cool.
