Very cute... I think almost twi years before my neighbour found a small imjured turtle on the town roadside. But as they were both working,nobody was there to take care, so they give it to my mom. We were so happy... I brought some food from market by my another friend's advice which is also an animal lover. Then after two days he was getting more weak as we do not understood the reason my mom thought it was because of its pain as she know ayurveda she come up with ayurvedik lep and applied on the affected area and after seven days he was totally ok... Yeah finally we did it.. But we need to leave him as it is not good to restrict his boundries so I let him swim free to his own world..and left him in a river... From the day we missed him really badly...but no option left...

Beautiful animal. Too bad some people don't care about them, and throw plastic in the ocean...

Its been a long time since we weighted him, but he's probably between 20 and 25 lbs. A side note, my neighbor, about 5 houses up the street, had several large turtles. One was about 100 lbs. I know, but he/she got out one day and came for a visit. We had a hard time getting him back.

Absolutely awesome. I love turtles. About 20 years ago, my wife and I inherited a desert turtle. According to the vet he's between 45-55 years old at this point. And, may live to 80 or 100 or even longer since he is in a protected environment.

Because of our climate, he goes into hibernation in October/November and usually comes out in late January or early February. This year, he awoke in December for 2 days and then went back to his den. He just came out yesterday, March 17. A long siesta for sure.

Here are a couple of pictures. This first one is where we put him in warm water so that he can drink and warm up.

This second one is where we are feeding him, just a little at first.

It always takes him a few days to get active. But when he is fully warmed up, he moves pretty fast.

Its been a long time since we weighted him, but he's probably between 20 and 25 lbs. A side note, my neighbor, about 5 houses up the street, had several large turtles. One was about 100 lbs. I know, but he/she got out one day and came for a visit. We had a hard time getting him back.

Thanks for sharing @hvr.
