In memory of Hole, age 50-plus, a Gulf Coast box turtle

November 9, 2015 By Merritt Clifton

 

Hole

In memory of Hole, age 50-plus, a Gulf Coast box turtle named for the hole in his shell that someone drilled at some point to hold a tether. Hole,  found dead on May 23,  2014,  was acquired by American Tortoise Rescue founder Susan Tellem in the early 1990s from a Los Angeles pet store where he was at imminent risk of dying from an untreated infection. American Tortoise Rescue welcomes memorial donations c/o 30745 PCH, #243, Malibu CA 90265.
