Critters afoot

While visiting my old friend Diego in Oakland I also met his 40 some turtles that live in most rooms of the house as well as the back yard. One night I woke up to scratching sounds in my bedroom. I went back to sleep. In the morning I noticed a turtle quietly sitting peering at me. this place is more like a turtle condo with good quality food and care,structured activities. You go Diego!

This looks good enough to eat ! Is this for the turtles or for us?

Dumpster diving in the land of plenty.After a trip down the Oregon coast and northern California coast I headed down to Oakland. I spent two days in Oakland with an old friend I met in Guatemala in 1970. He has about 40 turtles living in his back yard, in his kitchen,bathroom and any other room. Needless to say he's a herpetologist and a P.A. and totally committed to his herd of turtles.
