I haven't seen a lawnmower injury since I moved to the South, about 5 years ago. Ian, have you been able to heal this specific type of injury without the long-term use of epoxy? I'm sure I'll run across this sometime in the near future, and I'd like to know the latest. I've called a few fairly knowledgeable people and nobody seems to know. The only new thing I've heard is using Adaptix to speed the healing process, but the turtle is typically still left with a gaping area of no more than weak granulation or scar tissue on the top of the shell. Obviously I'm referring to full grown adults, where long term epoxy is feasable. Please feel free to contact me via email.
