BIO: Bernie is a floater; we think she was washed up against rocks, resulting in damage to the back of her shell. Bernie originally stranded 3/6/2011 in Brevard County and was transferred to us from Sea World Orlando in April 2013.
UPDATED: 5/10/16 I got some new weights today! Before I got them I weighed in at 30 lbs. That is 7 lbs in 2 years.
UPDATED: Had my yearly physical in June. Currently weighing in at 48 lbs. I like to spend all day scratching my shell trying to get my weights off.
UPDATE: 12/24/19 Deceased due to complications of her condition.
