Found this little guy the other day...*PICS*
I found him on a cement walkway outside one of the building of one of the customers of the company that I work for. He was just sitting there, dangerously close to a parking lot, and directly in the path of all the foot traffic going in and out of the building...












As you can see, I decided to keep him, so I went out and bought a small fish tank to put him in and some baby turtle food to feed him. I'll be picking up some more supplies for him this weekend.

Lucky little tyke that you came along. I imagine in a day or two he would have just been an unidentifiable dark splatter in the road.

Good luck with it.

Highlander,

Can you post a pic of the turtle's plastron?
I would suggest that you consider using a softer substrate for neonate turtles.

LOL Yeah but i would damage the meter when i would have to beat someone.

We see so many turtles come in the have never even had a basking spot. Just a half filled aquarium and if the turtle is lucky the tank is equipped with a filter. It's sad how uneducated people are with turtles. We get many turtles in where their shell doesn't grow but the turtles body does, so it looks like the turtle is outgrowing its shell.

By saying this I'm not implying Highlander is uneducated
