Hello and welcome to our Terrapin Crusaders blog. We began this blog as a means to help educate and share our journey and conservation efforts of the Northern Diamondback Terrapin turtle. These creatures are unique and amazing and in need of our help.

Sad days on patrol

Too many Juveniles and Hatchlings are not becoming road fatalities. Its very sad when your counts for the day are more dead than alive.

Sad news

Sad news last week as we learned that Toasty will be returning back to us soon but Bree is not doing well. This is hard even though we know that only 1 in about 100 of these turtles will make it to adulthood we still did not realize that we might lose one. Please pray for Bree that she gets on the road to recovery.

Terrapin Terrors

Binky and Diamond have been very bad Terrapins lately. Diamond bit everyone and now the once gentle Binky is going after little scooter. They have all been separated now for their own safely. We are anxiously awaiting the return of Bree and Toasty once their treatment is finished over at MATES.
