You're in for a treat. ☺️🙌

The soundtrack of life is a symphony unparalleled; and when you're right there with it, let me tell you it's pure harmony.

Occurrences as rare as these, produce a very emotional and physical response that isn't easily forgotten.

Tears well up, and before you even have time to judge yourself in the moment, it has you completely immersed.

One of the many reasons I love all animals, and these in particular, you slow down from the rat race and remember what it feels to be .
To be strong, yet gentle. Aware, unafraid.

A call to join in the orchestra, an unspeakable with all life around us, this is what it’s all about my friends.

With every fiber of our being, may we live every day here fully.

First nest of 2022 came with the help of abundant spring showers and some warm days.

Here is the 🐢man finding himself ☝️ of 🖐 nests for the day.

Usually we’ll have some test runs scratching around maybe one or two nests on the first day. This year five momma alligator snappers came up to lay on the first day. All higher than average numbers too.

Lastnight though they decided 55 was a bit chilly to get their claws dirty.

Thank you all for your continued support even through the stagnant winter months this dream wouldn’t be possible if y’all didn’t share the same vision 🙏

Stay tuned we got lots of fun coming this summer! Much turtle love from loggerhead acres turtle farm 🤗💚🐢

Hey there friends! Shipping payment links will be emailed out Friday the 10th and turtles will begin shipping the 12th. If you are not ready there is no hurry to get your shipping paid. I will not run out of turtles. So work on your timetable. Once shipping is paid I will ship within two business days. Realize Wednesday is the last day of the week to do 2nd day shipping as I won‘t have turtles sitting in limbo over the weekend at FedEx. Next day packages ship Monday thru Thursday. Take weather into account if it’s hot where you live. If it’s going to be 90 degrees use morning delivery. Please review my care sheet if you are new to this species on www.turtleman.com Thank you for your patience this Summer. Now it’s time to get down to it!

Hello friends old and new!
Pardon the absence on here we have missed you!

Spring has entered full swing here in the heartland we know as the ozarks, so we and the lady alligator snappers have followed mother nature’s suit.

Lots of rain and cooler temperatures has brought a late start to the laying season, while also compressing the peak of the season’s workload into a day or two.

Yesterday we uncovered 49 clutches after another half inch of rain through the night. 1,335 tucked away eggs under very well hidden and rained on piles of dirt, with more rain in the forecast 😭

We go with the flow quite literally.
Wouldn’t have it any other way ✌🏻

The past couple days have been busy, fun and full of unforgettable memories with some of the coolest people and turtles in the universe. Life is grand and we’re oh so happy to call you all FAM 🙌
