So, today we got a 3 toed box turtle into the rescue. He has gone through 4 different homes in the past few months. He is in a 20 gallon tank on small animal bedding (care fresh) bleh. and oh my his toenails are long! I am supprised he can walk! His name is Shellden, and he will go to the vet for an exam and intestinal parasite fecal exam on Teusday. Here he is!:

TheSmpsnsG85 · Oct 5, 2008

yeah, we are going to trim the nails tonight. Not sure how willing he is going to be!

Cute turtle! Good luck with trimming those nails, LOL

What a cutie! I love the patterns and colors on his head.
I can't believe the previous owners allowed the nails to grow to that length. Poor thing. Good luck with trimming his nails :lol:

So, the trimming of the nails was a success!! He let me do it fairly willingly! Those back nails were thick! my reptile nail trimmers were too small, I had to use the dog's nail trimmers! But he can walk comfortably now! I am so happy for him. Now we just need to find him a 'forever' home.

Glad to hear he didnt put up a fuss when you trimmed his nails. I bet he is much happier now.

I bet he feels much better without those Freddy Krueger claws.
