Calendar


It is the time of year when everyone is searching for that perfect calendar. How about a sea turtle calendar? Sunrises, the beach, and endangered animals! What more could anyone ask for?!

This year we are featuring a lot of new loggerhead sea turtles that were spotted as they were finishing up their nests along Palm Beach County beaches. Check out a preview here: 2007 sea turtles of florida calendar

She's back!

Just an update to let you all know that our little tortoise was found. A week ago Sunday I was out in the backyard and she walked right up to me. She must have been enjoying some of the weeds in the yard and hiding out in the bromeliads. I guess she decided the food we give her is better!

Another tortoise update: Our friend Larry has given us an African Spurred Tortoise (Geochelone sulcata) named Cessie, so we now have new reptile in the family. She (he?) is probably about 20 pounds, and quite a bit larger than our other two tortoises, but when the new one was introduced, she did not receive a warm welcome from our resident male. She is now out of the pen and free to roam about. Her favorite place seems to be the thick vegetation near the air conditioning unit. Kind of noisy, but i guess she likes it. Chris will take some pictures soon and post them.
