Ornate box turtle got a little beak attention during his annual exam at the Joan Kirkpatrick Animal Hospital. #seehowwecare | Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden

Come with me to give a box turtle a beak trim! 🐢 This ornate box turtle had an overgrown beak due to improper husbandry. Luckily, after an injection of a sedative, we were able to trim her beak down with clippers and smooth it out with a dremel. Thanks to @champagnepetdoc for lending a helping hand! 🐢 #turtle #boxturtle #ornateboxturtle #turtles #reptile #reptiles #herpetology #zoo #exotics #wildlife #conservation #animals #pets #nature #vet #vetmed #veterinarian #veterinary #medicine #veterin
