(Pictures coming soon.....)
Last Wednesday (May 5th) my mother's boyfriend found a little female three-toed box turtle walking down the middle of a highway (what is it with my family and finding turtles walking along the highway?!)

I went over to see her, and when he unwrapped her from the towel she had been sleeping in, this beautiful little grey turtle with bright red eyes peeked out at me. We took her outside to let her swim and get a good drink of water from my grandmother's pond, and she dove right in. A few seconds later, this GORGEOUS red and brown turtle popped her head out of the water! She had been so dusty and dirty from her walk down the highway that we all thought she was naturally a dingy grey.

She and my other three-toed, Soup, seem to be getting along great. She's much more well behaved, and didn't mind letting me scrub her with a soft fingernail brush. I'm still waiting for my other pictures to be developed, but I'll post them here as soon as I get them back!
