Another turtle is in the house. This lucky little painted turtle has only a minor crack and sore back legs. He has some pain and anti-inflammatory meds on board to help with that. Yesterday's snapping turtle was 23lbs/10kg, making her the biggest adult currently in care. (I have some that spent the winter with me to allow more time for healing.) At 6oz/162g, this little guy is the smallest adult here now.

Keep watching out for turtles.

"Behold the turtle, he makes progress only when he sticks his neck out." This quote from James Bryant Conant suits this image of the Painted Turtle that worked it's way up the large rock to the top. Slow but steady! Take a chance!

For the second year in a row, my turtle rehab season began on Easter weekend. This year's first turtle was a wee painted turtle hatchling with poor timing. He emerged from the nest where he spent winter and headed for a lake that still had ice on it. Luckily a family was playing on the beach, a youngster spotted him, and an adult called for help. He'll get first class accommodations for a few months while he grows a bit and will be released in summer.
