We have a zoop-like snapping turtle visitor every summer. She likes to lay her eggs in my soft garden soil. She is a long way off from her visit. We have MORE SNOW coming tonight and tomorrow. Nice picture!

I am not sure he looks for his shadow... But, he just might!canesisters said:

To be honest, I am not sure, but I think once the night temperatures reach about 50 degrees for about a week he shows up. And we have had some days in the 90's here, so... if we get another cold spell he will go back to his den.marshallsmyth said:
He doesn't eat or drink for a week or two when he comes out of hybernation. I soak him for about 30 mins in a wading pool, wash his shell and put Vit. E oil on it. It is our Spring ritual.

So, Rebbetzin
That is why he looks so charming? Zoop must enjoy the opportunity to show up in your yard!
I stopped in the big veggie garden yesterday and there were obvious signs that a long-eared, fur-bearin, flat-footed varmint had been out there! Coincidence?
