The seasons gifts keep coming. Friday brought this tiny hatchling to the yard. It’s clear that it hatched somewhere nearby. My wife found it while tending to the grounds. No more than about one inch in size, this little eastern box turtle is at the beginning of what could be a long life. In the wild they can live about 30 years but have been known to live well into their 50’s and 60’s. In captivity, some have lived almost 100 years. Of course, the first few years are the most difficult and dangerous. I hope to see this little one back again, year after year.

Panther chameleons are very diverse in colour and pattern, depending on the region in which they are found in the tropical forests of north western Madagascar. Even within the same region variations can be found. As its name indicates, this one is found in the Ambilobe region.
Males can grow as long as 20 inches and are twice the size of females, which tend to be less vibrantly coloured. Some of their peculiar features include: eyes which can rotate, focus and move independently from each other; toes which are fused together, enabling them to grip narrow branches; and exceedingly long tongues, which extend rapidly from their mouths, hitting prey at lightening speeds.
Geckos are reptiles and are found on all the continents except Antarctica. These colourful lizards have adapted to habitats from rain forests, to deserts, to cold mountain slopes. This one was seen on the wall of a coffee shop in the city of Cordoba, España.
Even though the Watersnake is harmless, I kind of check where I stand or sit down in that area.... you never know which rock they will come out from....
The biggest of the three is the female and the other two are males.
Fascinating creature, photographed at ZSL London Zoo.
Thanks for all views, comments and fave adds. Very much appreciated.
