Found this dude hanging out by my front door this afternoon.
There she goes. Megatron and the rest of her cohort of classroom terrapins are free.
Final weigh-in today. Tomorrow is release day. In October she didn't eat at all, holding steady at 8g, with a shell length of 31mm. Yesterday she ate 25 Rosy Red Minnows. Today she is 202g and 105mm. In the comments on her growth log my student helper simply wrote "very big now."
Fishing, crabbing, and charter boats are big business on Tilghman Island.
Come along with me to Poplar Island to release Megatron the Diamondback Terrapin into the wide world

Its a peaceful place, and worth a visit. You can arrange a free tour through the website. It's by appointment only so don't try to show up without one. www.poplarislandrestoration.com
