Hermanni Chillius Slovakian Albino Sub Species ? ? ?

Oddbod · 11-01-2009, 12:01 AM

Having just returned from our trip to Slovakia were the hottest the temperature was whilst there was minus 7 and the temp dropped
one night to minus 20 we were suprised to find one very large tort
hanging around in the snow covered garden......

I managed to get a couple of photos before it ran away...

Luckily for me i managed to jump off before i got frost bite...

We only made this on the last morning after waiting all week for
the right kind of snow, it was really difficult as it was so cold that
the snow was really powdery and difficult to stick together, had a
laugh making it though and some very funny looks from the locals.
