This Western Painted Turtle came to us with a fractured shell after an unexpected tumble off of a house. While this sounds odd for a turtle, we learned that the finder’s house is grass-roofed and built somewhat into a hillside. It’s likely the turtle climbed the hill, unaware of the sharp “cliff” before falling onto the sidewalk below. After sixty days in care, the turtle’s shell had healed beautifully, and we also discovered she was carrying eggs! This turtle was released close to where she was

What better way to shellabrate #WorldTurtleDay than with Bybee, the Western Painted Turtle! 🐢 Bybee represents one of two of Oregon’s native turtles–the other being the Western pond turtle. Western painted turtles inhabit slow-moving, marshy, shallow waters with muddy bottoms and plenty of vegetation. During spring and summer, Western painted turtles sleep on the bottom of the pond and become active around sunrise, basking in the sun on rocks and logs. You can support Western painted and pond t

Shell yeah, it's #ReptileAwarenessDay! 🐢 This Western Painted Turtle came in recently with an injured neck, but after a week of care (and mealworms galore), they’re back to basking in the wild. 🌞 These turtles are British Columbia’s only native freshwater species, often spotted sunbathing on logs or rocks in calm ponds and lakes. Keep an eye out next time you’re by the water! 👀 | Wildlife Rescue Association of BC

In early July, Western Painted Turtle #25-1049 was found off a highway in Corvallis with a cracked shell, most likely after being hit by a car. Fortunately, the turtle was brought to CWC quickly, and after surgery to repair the shell, and two months of recovery, this Western Painted Turtle was released, shell intact! Chintimini Wildlife is the only rehabilitation center within a 100 mile radius that accepts reptiles and amphibians for rehabilitation--without CWC, this turtle might not have had a

You can help save the turtles 🐢!! Western Painted Turtles are the most widespread native turtle species in North America, yet they’re endangered due to habitat loss, road mortality, invasive predators, and pollution. These turtles travel between wetlands and upland nesting areas. Unfortunately, that means crossing roads (especially in spring and summer) which is a huge risk for being run over. Nesting females and hatchlings are particularly at risk. If you see one on the road, you can help ➡️ M

Western painted turtles are an endangered species that nest at Swan Lake! 🐢🌱 If you see one in the Nature Sanctuary, please leave them be. They may look lost, but they are instinctively able to find their way to the water without help. Be sure to watch your step on the paths around the lake and if you do come across one, give them plenty of space and respect! They are the only native turtle species on Vancouver Island, and unfortunately habitat loss, invasive species, and limited nesting habit

🐢 Roads are one of the biggest threats to freshwater turtles as they cut through their habitat, forcing them to cross traffic as they move between water and land. The Western Painted Turtle is the only native freshwater turtle species in British Columbia and is considered at-risk in the province. These turtles used to be widespread across the southern valleys and lowlands of BC, however, habitat loss caused by urban development, wetland drainage, and road construction has significantly reduced
