I was so happy to find the young turtle that had major dents in his shell from being pummeled by hail in April 2016. The young turtles hide well so I had not seen him until now ...

We kept him in the house for about a month to treat his wounds with antibiotics.

He not only survived, but thrived almost doubling in size since we released him.

Off he goes to enjoy some warm weeks before hibernation time ...

Be well little turtle.
