Reptiles

Boris is a Desert Tortoise, the state reptile of California.  He is an herbivore who enjoys a variety of fruits and vegetables.  Lettuce is his favorite food!

Samantha is a domesticated, female Three-toed Box Turtle.    She was donated to the museum in 1997.  Even though she has a shy demeanor, her feisty side shows when an earthworm is given to her for breakfast.

Bump is a domesticated, male Three-toed Box Turtle.  He is our oldest resident, having been born in 1958.  Despite his age, he is full of energy and is always getting into trouble.
