Reptilian update

A while ago I posted about an injured box turtle my dad found in the road and brought home. It's shell was cracked and bleeding and it was missing a toe. We put a fancy bandage on the cracked shell and it healed on its own, so a few weeks ago my dad decided it was time to put the turtle back in the wild. He and Lisa went and released it in Ridley Creek State Park. Here are some pictures.

We've had the baby turtle for over a year now. She's growing fast and getting very used to having people looking at her and poking her all the time. She even eats out of our hands. It's adorable. For some reason I can't find any pictues of her.
