Looks like an interesting place!! I love #6; that turtle looks very unhappy to be part of the photo shoot.

I think the turtle is pretty well accustomed to being handled, so it was probably bored. If you liked that one, you need to see my Roatan, Honduras Topic -- In that one I hold a Toucan and have a monkey on my shoulder.

Are the turtles there for rehabilitation?
