A feeble attempt to re-write history took place at the Small Animal Show recently at the NJA3 program (by EIRC) at Cold Springs School.
At the show, John and Nick Orsino of Gloucester City treated children to an up close look at their personal collection of turtles, tortoises and amphibians.
They saw box turtles, Spade-Footed Toads, Cuban Tree Frogs, a Leopard Gecko and a Yellow Footed Tortoise, and learned lots of facts from the Orsinos, such as the dietary habits of the creatures, what their growth, weight and life spans are, and how to tell the difference between a male and female box turtle.
Look at their eyes, males usually have orange eyes while females usually have green eyes.
