Hiding from the winter inside his hollow log.

As far as I can tell today was the first time he's moved at all since I got back from Japan on Sunday morning. The net result of his activity today is that he's gone from being inside his hollow log with his tail at the cool end to being inside his hollow log with his head at the cool end.

Good Morning fr #Pasadena. Been so busy since #AndyTheTortoise came out of #Brumation.

I’m doing well, but a few days ago, I started running out of energy so yesterday, I slept & rested most of the day and today I'm pacing myself & will work only indoors I think.

The weather has been gray and cool. Today 🌤️ & 18ºc (64ºF) far below our normal high of 26ºc (79ºF). But this weather suits me and my needs as someone with heart conditions, because of the meds which makes me very heat-intolerant. This is the time of year when I often start to struggle.

Andy is doing well. We had enough ☀️ to get him up and eating, but the weather is not yet seasonal and now we're deep in #MayGray weather so he did not eat yesterday. With ☁️ & only 18ºc (64ºF) he just sat in normally sunny spots, trying to heat himself with UV, but he was in bed by the time we went and got the food tray he had not touched. Without heat, he can't really function sadly. Hopefully the sun comes out later today.

There are stones and retaining blocks around in the landscape with green plants in the background.California Desert Tortoise seen from the back right, with the back right leg slightly extended. He is resting on sandy soil inside a dog igloo. The igloo is partially buried, to mimick a burrow which is why you see light coming through the plastic above him.

Takes me a while to get used to the fact #AndyTheTortoise has gone into #Brumation. When I saw these hibiscus 🌺 flowers i immediately wanted to bring them to his area only to realize he’s in his crate (aka BIG #ColemanCooler) in the house 😆

2 red hibiscus flowers on a medium hibiscus bush. Top left has mango tree leaves visible. Just left of to right is a king palm partially visible. To the right leaves from the cherimoya. Near bottom left corner a post painted white at the top. And near bottom right a few satsuma leaves and the king palms’ trunks
