We've
brought Herman home, as we've dubbed him (of course it's possible it's
a her, in which case we might need to make a name change).
Herman
is a precious little turtle who was quite bruised and battered when we
found him. Two large piece of his upper shell are missing, and he was
caked in mud. It appears someone didn't take very good care of their
pet. I had quite a number of pet turtles when I was a kid, as well as
many other reptiles, and to this day I am still a sucker for them. I'm
not sure if we can keep Herman with Clemmy around so if there is anyone
in the Chicago area who might want to give Herman a permanent home let
me know.
Update: Since we found Herman, A
lovely reader of this blog, April was kind enough to send us info on
what type of turtle Herman is, and what we should feed him. Thanks
April!
