It may look bad at first, but given prompt and proper care from a rehabber, turtles have amazing healing capabilities. The fill-in where the seams didn’t quite line up for stabilizing is still a bit soft, but I feel decently confident that this turtle will be back out in the wild before winter. Keep going, girl—I believe in you! Babies! First hatchlings of the season. These Diamondback terrapin babies came in back in June as eggs, when their mother was run over by a car. Mama turtle was already dead, but I was able to extract the eggs and incubate them. Officer M. from the police department responded to the call and collected the turtle for me, and his efforts paid off. We don’t always have happy endings in rehab, so it’s important to celebrate the wins. When the babies have finished absorbing their little yolk sacs, they will be released in appropriate habitat near where their mother was found. This is an interesting case to watch, to see how much of this turtle’s shell regrows so it can sufficiently hide inside it and be safe in the wild. The turtle has been energetic from day one, and it really deserves a wild future. Time will tell. #turtlerehab #wildlife #turtles This is an interesting case to watch, to see how much of this turtle’s shell regrows so it can sufficiently hide inside it and be safe in the wild.

A mail carrier found this injured box turtle on his route and went the extra mile to deliver this precious cargo to us for help. This little lady is patched up and energetic, so we have high hopes for a full recovery, though we never make promises because anything can happen. You don’t want to miss this event! Hear the ins & outs, and ups & downs involved in saving a variety of turtle species in Florida, from expert biologist and turtle breeder Chris Lechowicz. Free and open to all. This Sunday, July 26th at 5:00pm at Riverside Reptiles Education Center in Enfield, CT.
