through a war! Nice rescue.
I love to see animals that were surely goners but then got saved somehow.
I found a hatchling striped mud turtle several years ago that was being eaten alive by fire ants. They were all over it's umbilical sac and eyes when I found it staggering across a highway. We washed off the ants in a nearby canal and then brought it home. It was covered in horrible welts and the eyes were really swollen shut. After a couple of weeks the eyes were better and the little thing was pretty much OK. After a month it was perfect again.
A friend still has him.
The box turtle looks like a typical female.
