These gopher tortoise aren't even mature till they are 7 or 8 years old and they can live up to 60 years, but most to 40.<br /><br />Hi Barbara, thanks, well you had pretty good weather while yo were there I guess.<br /><br />Hi Elna, thanks, I'll have to check out your blanket, there is some pale rose there I hope it shows up.<br /><br />Hi Ms. Sparrow, thanks, well I think they are fairly popular, the red may turn a darker brown when fired.<br /><br />Hi Joanne, thanks, the rule around here is if you see a turtle crossing the road, make sure you carry him in the direction he is going otherwise he will just go back across again; they know where they are going. Ha.<br /><br />Hi Amy, thanks, no I am not naming the turtles and I can only recognize them by which burrow they use. Although we do have one really large one and I can recognize him.<br /><br />Hi Lori, thanks, I was wondering if folks are getting tired of my tortoise photos, I never tire of them, but perhaps others do. Glad you are enjoying them.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-80530731227573718522012-08-20T23:00:29.091-04:002012-08-20T23:00:29.091-04:00Very nice colors.

Of course they need help to get across and I often wonder how many of the little buggers I've carried across the road have said "Oops, I forgot my handkerchief," and gone back.
