Turtle visits the Tennysonian


An Eastern Box turtle that looks a lot like the picture to the left has visited the Tennysonian this morning. Daddy was leaving for work and saw a terrapin crossing the road. Out of concern for its safety (we have seen the unfortunate results of similar crossings in the past), Daddy rescued the pretty little girl and brought her back to the Tennysonian as a morning wake-up surprise for Mommy and Baby.
As Eastern Box Turtles make excellent pets, we are considering keeping her for a while to get to know this amazing creature. We are converting to a single fish aquarium and will use the larger aquarium as a terrarium (it has a leak). With a nice basking light and all the lettuce one could desire, this will be a luxury hangout for our new friend.
We are currently looking for name suggestions. So far the one Daddy has suggested (Soup) has been rejected. Please submit your name suggestions to this post.
