I was proud of myself yesterday. I was driving along this one road near my house where there is this swamp. There's always squached turtles on this road and it saddens me. Well, I was driving along and a lil painter was basking in the middle of the road!! I slammed on the brakes,put on the hazards,got out and picked him up and threw him back in the swamp. I'd like to think I helped the turtle world a bit that day. I love turtles!! :)
Good job! It's a good thing to try and remember too that if you pick up a turtle in the road, try and put him on the side that he is aimed at (facing or walking to). Otherwise, he/she may just try and cross the road again, and maybe not be so lucky next time. But thank You so much for doing that. I love turtles too!
my red eared slider got bitten by a dog and his under shell was cracked and he is at the vet and needs surgery and it is saturday today and we will see if he is ok on monday by the way hes smaller that the size of your palm !!! my poor baby
The turtle's shell was patched with both fiberglass and epoxy - animal care staff cut a piece of fiberglass screen, and then attached it with 5-minute epoxy.
That was great. It's so nice to see the good things people do for a change. You did a very, very good thing and I think there is a turtle that thinks so to.
Thank you. The staff at Willowbrook does some amazing stuff. They are a very dedicated, highly professional group of individuals that help heal wildlife, while educating the public.
This made my day. It's got to feel good knowing that without you, that poor turtle would have died. You saved her life and she lives because of you!!
So many people hate snappers. A lot of people would have left her to die. I'm glad that you took the time to help her!!
