Dumbo, rescue 149

Remember the last post that said I wouldn't ever rescue another red ear slider turtle? Uh huh. Remember the two posts before that when I said the same thing? Uh huh. 

I have another one. 


This one was dropped off at my vet's office after someone found him in their neighborhood. The sides of his shell are cracked and it seems pretty likely that he was run over. :( 

So now Dumbo is at my house in a dry dock tank while his sides heal. He's allowed to get in his water bowl for a bit when he wants to. He usually only stays for a few minutes before going back to hide in his box. 

Once he's healed up, I'll find a pond for him to go in. :) And then I'll say again that I won't ever take in another RES turtle. 

And y'all can laugh at me again. :D
