Bertha (my [rescued] Gulf Coast Box Turtle):



Her previous owners thought she was an aquatic turtle and kept her in a 10 gallon with about 3 inches of cold filthy water and no way to bask...when they showed me the pic of her enclosure I agreed to take her right away....then found out she was a box turtle!!!! Her shell is supposed to be rounded/domed like a regular box turtle (and you're not supposed to be able to see her spine....)


She lives outdoors 9 months out of the year now and is so very happy (I think) haha
