I say the same thing if I was to live some place warm like south Florida.

Hey man, they "just" got up. Give them a break.

Thanks. I'm still waiting on the last female. If she doesn't come out today I may dig around for her tomorrow.

That's super cool that you allow them to hibernate outdoors!

And that last pic is perfect!

Thanks Gerry! For this species you really have to let them have a cooling/hibernation period to allow them to reset their biological clocks or they don't last very long in captivity. Plus they're native here so I just let them do their thing.
