One Eye

One Eye's a Three-toed Box Turtle. She's middle aged, as far as we can tell. We have no idea where her eye went, but it was gone when we got her. It doesn't slow her down a bit, although it makes it easy to sneak up on her from her blind side. She's a very shy turtle. Sometimes she'll hang around out in the open when we feed her worms, but she leaves right after eating. She'll also grab her grub and run. Here, she's doing battle with a big worm.

In this shot, she's got the worm. You can see her missing eye.
