Here are some photos of my RES that was found stuck between the back door to my store and the door frame. Sorry about the bad focusing, iphone did not want to focus. Will post new ones with digital cam later.

Here he is from the front:

Sideways with his pretty red spot:

You can really see the scuffs on his shell in these two, poor little thing:

Nice rescue. His shell looks like it's in rough shape. Once he gets settled, you might want to gently clean it and give it a through inspection.

I was thinking about cleaning it. How would I go about doing that?

Get a new soft toothbrush. Use warm water (same temp as tank water) or consider using a solution like diluted betadine and then letting the shell dry for a couple of hours.
