Today, I visited a local school who's class was studying reptiles. I took an adult T.radix female (Tourette), one of the baby Northwestern Garter Snake (T.ordinoides) a Western Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta), a African spurred tortoise (Geochelone sulcata) and of course tank (Chelydra serpentina-Common Snapping Turtle)
I showed Tank last. The kids were excited to see Tank again as this is his 3rd visit to the school. Tank was perfect and interacted with the kids as usual. The teacher also petitioned me to let Tank live in the classroom. Ah, no. He went home with me.
Once home Tank had breakfast and retired to a blanket for some rest. Rest means watching out from under the blanket.

*Update*
Tank's rest has turned into sleep. Poor tired, hard working turtle.
