Guess what, it got down to 35 degrees last night, quite unexpectedly, so my tortoise mom got up and checked the thermometer reading for my burrow in the night. It was 48 degrees; ok, but a little cool. So she decided it's time I get a little extra warmth from Christmas lights at the entrance of my burrow. Just in time for Christmas!
This is a far cry from where I was exactly two years ago. It was nice to check out the Christmas tree back then, but I'm really glad to be extra snug in my burrow now (52 degrees, perfect!). I am absolutely not an indoor tortoise, even during rehab from surgery. Anyway I'm really grateful to be cozy in my burrow, especially with a little extra warmth coming from my own Christmas lights. They even wrapped them up so there's no light to wake me up. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good, long night!
