Re: Tortoises from N.America
Oh dear, the poor little one in your hand! Was he partially run over on the road? They are such an attractive species -- really pretty shell patterns and sweet heads.

Totally agree what amazing faces and eyes! Did the cracked shell one survive??
Re: Tortoises from N.America
Absolutely fine Bex,this was an old injury probably a road strike..very common to find Box Turtles on the roads in the summertime just after it's rained
Re: Tortoises from N.America
So glad they cope with trauma
so upsetting when human mistakes cause them harm
