Tank is alive and well. This was our selfie. The problem was Tank saw another male snapping turtle in the house and chased my camera shortly after the photo was taken. Tank's weight has steady off at 40-pound and he continues getting great report from his Vet at his check-ups. Tank continues his job as an educational turtle but Covid forced a year off of that work.
Tank continues to grow, he's now at 40 pounds.
Getting out for some sun is a great time, he stays close to me but loves taking a nap in the heat. He draws a crowd every time he goes out front. I end up doing a short presentation on his life and the species in general. Everyday is a great time to be with Tank.

Things are going well with Tank, such a docile and pleasant turtle to work with. His main focus is spending time with me. When he's out he doesn't let me get very far away from him. If I walk into another room he will follow me, climbing on my leg when I stop. He just wants to be held.
Friendship and kindness is universal. Tank will climb up like this and I'll hold him. He just wants closeness and time. Tank has been treated and loved like one of the family for most of his life. He greets me with the same excitement everyday.
