Where does he sleep for 5 months?

Where does he sleep for 5 months?

Hi James,

He lives in the house with us by his choosing. Each year in Mid October he decides where he will go into Brumation. This year he selected my wife's painting studio Year before he selected the toe kick under my computer key board.. Three years ago he was under Margie's keyboard in her toe kick.
Year before that he parked in the corner of the dining area... No idea of his decision process. Makes life interesting when you have a tortoise under roof...

That is so cool! So he picks a spot and you just have to wait it out I guess.

It must be the amount daylight eh? Because if he's inside the temperature doesn't change much.

That's wild he's been there in the same spot since we saw him there in early December! Boy I sure wish I could sleep that good. Now I toss and turn all night like a rotisserie chicken. lol
