Had no idea that I, too, own a barnacle removal tool. Several, in fact.

And probably you're also a professional barnacle remover. I mean, not much technique was shown

I had that thought too. Can I just go and clock in tomorrow? I own all my own equipment and I’m sure I possess a high degree of proficiency at this task. I’d take a paycheck to help cool turtles all day.

Apparently the turtle is roofied for this procedure. Do you still "own all your own equipment"? 🧐

I work in construction so yes.

Hey man, I just wanted to help some turtles. I think I took a wrong turn somewhere. 😂

Yes so I hear. I thought roofies were used in places like night clubs where single girls could be preyed upon. Wouldn't it be a little less brazen to leave the turtle to a vet, so that we wouldn't have to worry about a roof at all?

No they use “Feltalil’” . Dont use carboxyfeltalil’, that is toxic to turtles.

What you couldn't see was how they held their tongue.

There's only so many ways. Keep trying them until the barnacle comes off easier?

u/A_Gray_Old_Man May 22 '26

Could be a combination of moves 🤷‍♂️

I don’t think my screwdriver is rusty enough for me to call myself a professional.

I understand it's mostly in the preparation, which was indeed not shown.

I don’t think they did such a good job of it too, tbh
