I sincerely hope you're joking about the "Turtle Wax"....

I have admired lots of turtle photos, and it just seemed to me that some turtles looked unnaturally glossy.My husband was in advertising photography for 20 years, and we've seen alot of bizarre tricks used in order to make those products more appealing, so you've confirmed my suspicions that some folks are going beyond wetting with water.

Thanks for the tid bit about the soft toothbrush, Nathan: that was going to be my next question. I am considering annual photo shoots, too, to document changes, etc., and their markings do show up more strikingly when they're wet.

Thanks again everyone!
