Best Turtle of the Week 5/26-6/1

This baby danger nugget (Common Snapping Turtle) from DuPage County was awarded the “Best Turtle of the Week” position. So cute, so pudgy, so polite, and not yet figured out that it is a snapper that should bite. He weighed in at about 65 grams, which is officially my tiniest patient so far.
