Recently I had to say goodbye to this young box turtle who had been in my care for a few years. Another rehabber had rescued her and her sibling from a disturbed nest and passed them to me. This little one was runty and couldn’t compete well with her sibling, who was released back to the wild ages ago. Now this one’s big enough to hopefully have a shot to grow up and be a productive part of the local population here in northern Westchester. This area is monitored, so fingers crossed that I’ll get some updates as she continues to grow! #turtle #wildliferehab #herp
We got to escape for a quick camping trip over the weekend at Lake Ocquittunk, in Stokes State Forest. Turns out my mom learned to swim in this lake a few decades ago! We spent a couple hours doing some fun forest activities at the New Jersey School of Conservation, too. People really underestimate the beauty and nature of NW New Jersey!
My Saturday morning coffee table. A little work reading and some escapism, all of a theme. #adk #naturelover #cabinlife #someday
I was just thinking to myself that it was red eft season and it’s surprising I haven’t bumped into any on the trails yet, and there they were! Love these bright orange juvenile newts. I seem to making a habit of positive visualization lately. What herp should I try to manifest next?!
