I went to Calif recently to help my injured sister with her animals. So one day I am feeding the box turtles, and I am watching the ground so I don't trip...oh lo! and behold!!! I finally found a turtle, finally, he still had his egg tooth and just as shiny as a new penny. Well, I did think he was a button, but it moved when I picked him up...SCREAM SCREAM I FOUND ONE. I go running in to my sister, she got real excited too. She says she thinks he's possibly a cross between a 3-toed and Florida maybe? Anyhow, in a box he goes, and up to Oregon, the magnificent emerald of the Pacific Northwest.
I set up a 2.5 gallon aquarium and put the whole thing in a box turtle pen.

He's 9 grams here
and this just now
And this is why I named him Grumpyface
