I don't know the story behind some of them. There were three like this turned in by the same keeper:
This one was bruned by the light or CHE being too close to the shell:
This one was dog chewed:
This one is Bondo, James Bondo. He was hit by a car, taken to a vet who used bondo to close up the shell:
This baby box turtle was hatched without a lower jaw (I don't think this one was mine - probably a picture off the Forum:
Pyramided leopard:
Deformed box turtles turned in by the same keeper:
I don't remember this one being one of mine - probably a picture off the Forum:
This Russian was dog chewed. I don't know how these two pictures ended up side-by-side, but I can't figure out how to separate them. The sulcata is a picture off the web showing damage done by another sulcata:
This is Larry. His gular was chewed off by a dog, and when it healed new skin grew over the chewed off shell, and the skin that grew was leg skin with leg spurs. This was VERY interesting to me:
Lil' Kim came to me from SoCal. I've kept him and he doesn't look near this bad anymore (three years later):
This is Mildred. A lab chewed off her leg and Maggie put a furniture slide on her plastron to help her motate.
This poor water turtle came to me from a lady whose son had lost interest in the turtle. She had no idea there was anything wrong with the way it looked:
