Tank Gilfillan The amazing life and times of Tank the not so common Common Snapping Turtle Tank came to us as a near hatchling. He interacts with the public with no issues.

Since that time he has been a part of our family. He shows no aggression towards anyone and even seeks us out for interaction. During feeding time he goes out of his way to be sure he doesn't bite me and on the rare occasion it has happened he immediately releases me with no injuries. Contact with my family is part of his life and he seems to enjoy it. Tank also makes public appearances at local schools and herpetological society meetings.

My wonderful best buddy. Before long, we'll be spending our time in the living room. Too cold for a turtle to be outside

Together.

Here's my nephew, Judah. He's holding one of my new cards. The new cards have my FB QR code on the back.

Dad wanted me to let everyone know we won’t be posting much this weekend. He’s busy writing a couple of new books about me, and he needs the computer to work.

I don’t have my own device, so I’ll be quiet for a bit — but I’ll be back soon with more updates.
