Not actual jet ski photos, but very related....
April 13th, 2012 (friday the 13th): Enjoying a few "cocktails" on the Brigantine beach after our "friday frontside" surf outing. SpecialFX comes over to my van and says check it out theres a turtle over hear. I go around next to his van and im looking for this turtle. But i dont see it. He says right there..... and here i see this little tiny (size of a quarter) diamondback terrapin hatch ling. He was literally stuck in a footprint in the sand and was too small to climb out. We picked him up to check him out. As TJSCool was holding him i began googling diamondback terrapin care. Seemed that since he had never made it to the water there would be no need to keep him in salt water. Alot of the info supported diamondbacks actually being healthier in frresh water as they can hydrate better. And since they are a mammal and get there oxygen from the air and not the water there is really no issue in keeping them in fresh water if there shell has never acclimated to the salt water. That was enough info for me, i took him home made him a temp. home for the night and next morning went and bought him a home and all the needed accessories. Let me say I never imagined he would have such a personality, he loves human contact, and is very energetic (even begs for food). He is now already 5 inches in diameter, and just last week upgraded his home to a 90 GALLON turtle palace.

Please do not send me stuff saying its wrong to house these turtles and other BS. He was stuck in a hole he prob would have dehydrated due to the sun or been eaten from. Another hatch ling a few minutes later (from find frank) got eaten by a seagull. Frank is very well taken care of and has a diet more complex then mine.
