A man and his turtle 🐢
•
Myrtle is a non-releasable Green sea turtle who was struck by a boat and is completely missing his left eye. He has spent years being cared for by humans and due to this, is very comfortable with human contact, through his medical examinations, shell cleaning and feeding. He also seems to really enjoy head and shell scratches too 💆🏼‍♂️

(Myrtle lives in an animal care facility, It is illegal to touch wild sea turtles without a permit)

I love looking into Henry’s eyes and imagining all the things he’s seen in his lifetime. Even though he was rescued on a Florida beach in the 1990s, we estimate he’s between 80-100 years old and could have travelled all over the world during this time! (Pretty crazy to imagine him swimming around the oceans during World War 2 😧). So happy the big guy is still with us and living a happy and lettuce filled life 🥬

Our two resident Loggerheads, Randy & Mortimer, have been at the facility since the 1960s! We estimate them to be between 80-90 years old. You can distinguish Loggerheads from other sea turtle species by their MASSIVE heads and their orange coloration.

Wanna see a new piece?! 🐠 I wanted to create so

Wanna see a new piece?! 🐠 I wanted to create something that reflects the fish diversity found on the coral reefs here in the Florida Keys and the Caribbean. Featuring some of my favorite reef locals: the Hogfish, Queen triggerfish, Queen angelfish, Reef butterflyfish and the adorable Long-spined porcupinefish 🤿 . This piece will be on display at Kona Kai Resort & Gallery in Key Largo @konakairesortkl if you’d like to see it in person (or purchase it!). Hope you guys like the finished product 🎨

Spend a stormy afternoon with Henry! Hurricane Ida

Spend a stormy afternoon with Henry! Hurricane Idalia passed by us yesterday and thankfully we only experienced a bit of wind and rain, which Henry seemed to enjoy ☔️
All of the animals here are trained in evacuation procedures, and we monitor the tracks of nearby hurricanes incase we do need to evacuate them to safety in the event of a direct hit.

Henry check-up! Part of working with rescued sea turtles includes doing daily visual examinations on their body to make sure there’s no cuts/ abrasions or abnormalities. The sea turtles, including Henry, are trained to allow us to handle and examine various parts of their body, including their head, flippers, shell, tail and plastron (their underside). As you can see, Henry is awesome during his examinations and gets lots of lettuce throughout 🥬

This is our Goliath Grouper, Captain Barbosa. He’s still a juvenile (around 60lbs) but these fish can grow up to 800lbs and 8 feet long! He currently lives in a lagoon with Henry the Green sea turtle and they are the best of friends 👌🏻

This is Holmes, a rescued Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle that I work with. These are the rarest, smallest and most endangered species of sea turtle on the planet so I feel very privileged to get to care for him. As you can see, he’s a beautiful and sassy little guy!

These sharks live in an animal care facility so are very comfortable with human contact through training of their husbandry and medical behaviors. Touching wild sharks in this manner can lead to much different results and depending on the species, is illegal.
