Sorry I have to do it this way. Our guide is 'Mica" She is a certified sea turtle tech. You need permits to touch sea turtles cause"all" of them are endangered. The turtles in the blue tubs are soaking in Meds & vitamins, soon to go to big pool that is an actual pool. This place was once a motel,you couldn't have fresh water pools back then. This entire place is still owned by oh crap I forgot his name but he converted to tturtle hosp.

Some more sick turtles to be released I think next week to the big pool, also some new hatchlings that some one found on A!A actually illeagle for people to touch but what the heck they survived. You will see "REBEL" the turtle I-we adopted. He is a trouble maker like me, sort of Bi- Turtle disorder lol

This is the large pool. There are several Tarpon in there. One of the firsr turtles is "Bubble Butt" she cant submerge-Air trapped in her shell from baot hit, "Rebel" is always the turtle bugging the others,sort of like my huh lol Also a Pic of Mica & me. Some shots of the keys from my car and on the side of the road there littreally hundreds of thousands of Lobster traps no exageration. Lobster season opens Monday and all the traps are being ready to go to sea( hundreds of thousands they cover almost every Key

he said it is ok for you to use the sea turtle pics

Absolutely beautiful pictures, Tom.
They're such amazing animals and to have the opportunity to be up close and right there with them is such a blessing!

It was very informative and also a blast, plus any reason tu drive to the Keys is a good reason.. Also to see All those Lobster traps being prepared to go out is absolutely amazing. Every Key had traps ready fo the water and to bring a Lobster to a dinner plate near you hahaha. Really though it is the only time-o- year you can see every last one. Just a blast. :wavez:

Looks like a fascinating experience, Tom! Thanks for taking all those pictures so we could "go on the tour" of the turtle hospital along with you. It must have been incredible to see those beautiful sea turtles in person.
