[img id] Digital, cel-shaded artwork of the snake-necked turtle in the quoted photograph. The pose of the turtle has ben very closely studied: It floats mid-swim, long neck extended to maximum length, looking upwards at something to our left. Its skin and shell are gunmetal green, with a seafoam belly and thin light rim around its shell. Its feet are webbed and also armed with giant claws. This artistic rendition of hte turtle places it weaving through verdant, aquatic grasses set in a mossy-green isometric chunk of environment. Generic aquatic plants, also brightly green, wave in the background currents. [/id]

With limited tools and lots of unpredictable patients, improvising is just part of the job. A simple plunger works wonders to safely secure a snapping turtle, keeping that forceful bite at bay in order to perform an exam or administer treatment. It's safe, effective, and gives our team the control we need. For this snapper, it meant we could treat its injuries quickly and stress-free, providing the care it needed to heal and return to the wild.]

A box turtle perchance, but what kind of box turtle?
