BYC Café

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.
We had a pretty strong thunder storm last night. Bella is the third dog I've owned that has thunder phobia. She's not as bad as the other two that had it but she still had a rough night.

Aaaaaah - coffeeee! I'm coming!

I saw a painted turtle laying eggs right next to the dragon

Clever turtle, she wanted them safe and protected by him.

Have you ever seen a disturbed area that indicates the eggs hatched?
Would be interesting to place a cage around the nest.

We have seen 4 turtles laying in the sand of our driveway and our road. Unfortunately, those eggs won't make it. Even the ones at the edge of the road will have been driven over several times by heavy farm equipment by the time their hatch date arrives.

Ever consider digging them up and moving them to a safer location?

Probably illegal.....and they'd have to be moved asap(within 24 hours of being laid), and very carefully.

Well, that window has slammed shut then. We saw them about 5 days ago. Sorry little turtles.

Painted turtles are not protected so one could move the nest.
I'd take the chance of some not surviving if the alternative is none are surviving.
