🐢Snapping Turtle-Benton Area🐢

We just picked this beauty up in Benton Area

⁉️Did you know a common snapper has less bite force than a human⁉️

This pretty baby was hit by a car but luckily was rescued and kept safe until we could get there to help.

They have extensive shell fractures and some trauma to their tail but with some eyelets secured with Turtle safe glue and wire that we tighten daily and weekly the shell should mend and back to the merky waters this baby will go far away from traffic and busy roadways.

‼️STAY TUNED FOR REPAIR VIDEO‼️

We understand accidents happen and animals vs cars can't always be avoided but we also know more often than not these prehistoric dino-turtles and snakes are hit on purpose due to fear, ignorance and prejudices passed down through the generations.

‼️We don't charge for wildlife rescue/rehab but monetary contributions are greatly appreciated to help us continue saving the wildlings.

🤝Everything to care for them comes directly from our personal household funds or from our amazing supporters like YOU. The state of Ky doesn't offer us any compensation we actually have to pay them to provide a FREE service of saving the wildlings.🧡🐾

🖤🦨Skunk Family-Bremen🤍🦨

We got a call from Vickie Stewart Phillips about a momma who had collapsed next to the road with two babies at her side. We were on another call for our cat rescue so we threw it into hyper drive and got to mommas side.

Momma was covered in ticks, skinny and very lethargic so she finally just collapsed to our horror she collapsed on a red ant hill and was actively being bitten over and over by the ant colony.

We rushed back to the wildling hut where we used a flea comb to get all the ants off, gave steroid injection for the shock and nutrical for calories. Unfortunately she started having seizures and 6 mins after arriving to the wildling hut mom gained her angel wings and her 2 babies were left as orphaned.

This is the gut wrenching and tears pouring part of what we do that most never get to see.

Rest easy momma run the fields with all the souls gone to soon...We've got it from here and will care for your babies until they are big enough to return to nature!

When we don't answer the phone we are definitely feeding wildlings, medicating wildlings, saving wildlings....sometimes we are rebuilding turtles after they were hit by a car, chewed on by a dog or struck by a lawn mower.

Tonight this Painted Turtle came in from Paducah after she was struck by a car. Her shell damage was minimal so she should heal wonderfully and be released back into the area she was found. We cleaned her fracture up then packed it with Manuka Honey(antibacterial properties, helps with inflammation and tissue regrowth) and topped with tagaderm to protect her exposed tissue beneath her shell. We have attached a video to show you guys what goes into repairing a slight shell fracture 💚🐢

Its always busy here and you never know who we are going to be saving next. We are so thankful for our village of supporters, followers and wildling lovers yall keep us going when the days are long. We love you guys!

So yesterday we didn't just rescue turtles and a frog...we also came back to the wildling hut with 3 baby opossums and 3 baby skunks....our wildling hut expanded by 9 sweet souls last night!

While rescuing the turtles a sweet family found a baby opie in their hammock they posted for help and we were tagged.

🦨On the way home a property owner called asking if it was normal for baby skunks to be out exploring a ditch line no momma in site. This is actually completely normal for wildling mommas to take their babies and explore so they learn about the world around them. You don't always see momma but she sees her babies and she sees you. To be sure this was the situation we had her send videos and pictures. These babies were to small to be on their "own" or in that situation, had blow flies swarming them and fly strike meaning they needed our help! On our way home from the turtle rescue we diverted to McLean County to pick up the lil stinkers.

We pulled in our driveway at 6p and at 608p the phones were ringing about a baby opie found in a laundry room so in came the 5th baby.

We started night-time chores at 9p then at 918p our phone rang again another baby in a laundry room so we welcomed the 6th mammal baby into the wildling hut.

Phew what a DAY and NIGHT

What an amazing day!! What started off as a normal Monday soon became a mission to save turtles from a dilapidated in-Ground pool! The amazing power couple who runs Joshua Tree Reptile Haven reached out to us for help and of course we said let's do the Damn Thing!

We managed to rescue 1 turtle and 1 bullfrog rather quickly but the homeowner said there was more than 1 possibly 2 turtles so we knew we needed to get the water siphoned to allow us to see into the sludge and silt better. Joshua Tree reptile haven sent us over funds for a siphon, hose, extension cord, etc.

Then a text came through from Conner with Cascading Waters Pool Solutions - Owensboro he had a pump and all the fixings to help us. He came right over volunteered his services and helped us drain the pool down low enough to net and drag it where we discovered a 2nd much larger turtle hiding in the sludge!

Since these guys are red ear sliders and not a native wildlife species but instead are bred and sold as exotic reptiles they can not be rehabbed or released into the wild so we will be transferring them to our private rescue Fluffs Sake Cat Rescue INC where once cleared by our vet they will be available for adoption to educated and well meaning reptile lovers like us!

Today was amazing we got to network and meet an amazing couple from California, met an amazing heart and business owner who gave up holiday time with his family to help strangers save turtles, met two amazing fellow wildling lovers who set all this in motion via an opossum chat Mindy demello & Christina Christina and as always our friend and fellow opossumomma Ottoline Cosima for always hooking us up with amazing hearts!!

Today these guys are safe, clean, getting fresh veggies & strawberries all because a KICK ASS group said LET'S DO THE DAMN THING and save some turtles!!
