We’ve moved the cameras at the Turtle Guardians We’ve moved the cameras at the Turtle Guardians Headquarters and have noticed that each night these two turtles move to face each other. Timothy is a large male snapper that is ~100 years old and unable to use his back legs, and Jeremiah is a large female snapper that is ~ 75 years old with limited mobility in her back legs. We can't help but wonder if they're trying to communicate... Betty and Otis, the two red-eared sliders, do the exact same thing! Wonder what they’re saying?⠀

Jeremiah is a female common snapping turtle that w Jeremiah is a female common snapping turtle that was hit by a car and left with her back legs paralyzed. Luckily, turtles can regrow nerve tissue so there is hope for her recovery! The Turtle Guardians staff take turns going into the office during lockdown to feed the turtles, and to give Jeremiah her physio and skateboarding time (look out Tony Hawk). The muscles in her back legs are getting stronger every week and she loves to roll around the office! ⠀

Everyone is looking for new hobbies during lockdow Everyone is looking for new hobbies during lockdown, including Betty, our red-eared slider. While there are still some staff at the Turtle Guardians Headquarters (with permission - essential services for wildlife care) it is not nearly as exciting without any tours coming through. It is safe to say that turtles are looking forward to some company after the lockdown is over!⠀

This painted turtle's yoga pose isn't just for sho This painted turtle's yoga pose isn't just for show, turtles stretch out to expose as much of their body as possible to the sun. As cold blooded animals, this allows them to absorb more heat and regulate their internal body temperature!⠀

Betty, our red-eared slider, was born in captivity Betty, our red-eared slider, was born in captivity so she doesn't mind dressing up for the holidays! While turtles can be good pets they don't always make the best gifts. They are a lot of work and a big commitment! If you know you're ready for a pet turtle, consider adopting a previously owned red-eared slider like Betty! ⠀
