Notes
Moving into water of small pond. Found crawling through weeds. Upon capture, I noticed some issues with the legs and tail (pictured). The back right leg was pencil-thin and had no foot. The tail was scarred and stumpy. I could also see that this turtle was very skinny and had very poor muscle structure throughout it's body.
