I know what you mean. LOL
On days like yesterday when the weather is right for box turtles to be out roaming I can't drive too fast, I'm scanning the road all the time looking for that familiar lump sitting somewhere on it.
This particular stretch is our only way into town, and we have to drive about 2 miles to get to there.
I never speed because I drive that road daily, I see too many cops waiting to hand out tickets so I know better but more importantly I see too many turtles on it, usually dead.
So I want to make sure I don't hit any that are alive.

This girl yesterday wasn't hurt too badly but because I could see a fracture I just had to get her to the vet. It wasn't a very bad fracture but it was enough to let infection in. Infection would kill her before the fracture will.

She'll be fine I'm sure & when she's healed maybe she'll be breeding with the boy found trapped between the water heaters.
