Rain

Hi everyone. Well, I don't know where you all live but here yesterday we had some rain and it was so light at first the torties  all had a lovely shower and then put their heads in various places to catch the rain. By that I mean they put them up against the fence to catch the rain coming down. Some put their heads on the grass at an angle to catch it  and a few just stood with their mouths open to catch some!! It was a wonderful sight and  it's wonderful to think they know instinctively what to do. In the wild  where they  all originate from rain is  rare and not an every day occurence, so when it  does rain  they have to make the most of it. I think it is amazing that some of mine who are 70, 80 and 130 years old  that  have had a regular supply of water to drink still do what is inbred.....
