Surprise!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Today’s blog we’re taking a sneak peak at the box turtle team.<\/p>\n

Why might you ask?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, while Kirsten is moving her personal belongings to Lake County, Sam is diving into a mini adventure with the box turtle team!<\/p>\n

“I know I’m cheating on the Blanding’s just a little bit, but they are still my favorites!”<\/em><\/p>\n

~ Sam\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Here she was able to learn tons of new turtle-tastic techniques about how to draw blood on a turtle and how to swab them. Although these tasks are slightly different on a box turtle than on a Blanding’s, the skills are definitely transferable. Here are some photos and a mini blog about her time in Vermillion County.<\/p>\n
