The newest edition to my personal family of turtles. Raphael is a 1 year old E painted turtle who was abandoned at a water reservoir and almost died from cold shock. He was in near hibernation (body temp was 57 F) when he came into the rescue two days ago and I did not think he would live but he did and so due to his health issues I have adopted him myself into my family so now I have 11 personal pet turtles :D Oh and I got the ole Nikon SLR to work again after cleaning it out with ethanol and ether plus a good drying and air cleaning of the gears and guts. :)

With a infrared thermometer on the neck or under the front legs
