A Handsome Terrapene!

Meet “Nolan”, short for Nolachuckey -


We rescued him attempting to cross Rt. 107 in Jonesborough!

He has a bit of damage to the top of his shell but otherwise, he looks to be in great shape and is a handsome dude -


Gave him a bath, then let him soak for a bit in clean water to get himself a drink.

He’s getting bolder and staying out of his shell -


My favorite type of turtle 🐢 hands down!

Ms. Trixie met and befriended Nolan -


Fun Fact - Did you know that the box turtle was officially designated as the Tennessee state reptile in 1995!
