Henry the Turtle

This blog is used to keep people informed about my classroom box turtle Henry. During his semi-hibernation state I will post his currect weight and condition via bi-weekly checks.

Dedicated to Henry

I have a computer dedicated to Henry's webcam. That way the camera will not freeze up after I play my stress releiving Battlefield2 game. I will also use this computer when Henry goes back to the classroom with me. My school computer stops after a reboot expecting someone to hit the prompts for it's Novell network, Henry's computer will just plain reboot and keep on working.

Henry should be back in the classroom about the end of Feburary.

Dry for now

We have been having record rainfall here in Sacramento. Our local news reported we were at 172% of normal the other day. I was staring to get worried about our local turtle polulation with all of our flooding. I am happy to report, that not only Henry but other local turtles (this is from their owners mind you) have not gone into hibernation this year as in previous years. Even outdoor turtles are up and about due to the warm southern winds.

It looks like Henry is safe along with most turtles in this part of California. Lets hope it stays that way!
