Just wanted to share some updated photos of my Terrapene carolina carolina. I was happy to see once again that everyone made it through the winter unscathed. With luck I should have some eggs laid very soon from my 3 females.

Here's some shots of the enclosure. It's 8'x8'x2'. I have ferns, hostas, strawberries and blueberries planted in it along with some other native plants.

Dinner time! Today's menu consists of cut shrimp covered in overripe chopped strawberries and topped with a layering of shredded carrots. Bon appetit! ;)

Wow, looks awesome!

I hate living in an urban area, my backyard is seriously the size of that enclosure..
 
Very cool! How long have you had them outdoors?
 
How many turtles total? It's awesome that you can keep them that way. Here our coyotes would finish them off in less than a week.
 
They look really good, such nice colours. Happy to see an update on them after the winter cause you have some really nice looking ones.
 
Love your turtles. Told you once and I will tell you again: if you were here with the colors of your sire you could do some very serious cash from the offspring of thouse turts, here they are 100 euro at least a pop;)
