desert turtle
This turtle was wandering the neighborhood for two days.........we picked it up and asked neighbors if anybody knew who it belonged to. ( I mean, it's pretty hard to lose a turtle, not like it can make a quick get-away) No owners found, so we called a Desert Turtle rescue, and they will pick him up. I didn't know they were endangered, due to destruction of their habitat, and slowness to reproduce........The female doesn't start to lay eggs until 15-20 years (like a good girl ).........after that, every 2-3 years.
