At first, she didn't want to come out of her shell, but then I told her that someone here really loves turtles and would probably like to see her, so she finally said, "Ummm...okay."

I am a turtle magnet. They find me in strange places. I have saved well over 1,000 from being ran over or from controlled burns in our national forests here in Florida. This little guy, Wife and I took a walk and he was then the size of a half dollar.. now he is HUGE.. he was on our porch just waiting for me. Somehow they know that I love the little guys!
He now lives in about a 100 gallon tank.. Wife takes him out and pets him daily.. we make special food for him.. Just like all of our pets.. he is spoiled.

A photo that I took of a turtle on a log at our pond. At first I didn't know exactly what species it was, but then after asking on a message board I figured out that it was a Florida Redbelly, even though I live in SC.
A baby sea turtle sits in nurturing hands moments before being released into the ocean off the coast of Boca Raton, Fla., Sept. 5, 2013. The staff at the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center reached out to the Coast Guard to assist with the sea turtles release into the ocean. U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Mark Barney.
This huge turtle (about 10-12 inches long) was crossing the road, so I stopped and put on my blinkers and tried to assist him. He wasn't liking my help, but I didn't want to leave him in the middle of the road. Along came another driver, who stopped to help and ended up picking up the turtle (quickly) and moving to the other side of the road. The turtle plodding down a small embankment and into the lake.
Frick! (Yellowbelly Slider) actually let me get close and take photos of him basking. Usually if you go near the tank when they are basking they slide off into the water.
never knew turtles could have such long legs!! as i took the photo, realized, photography at this cage was illegal. oops! so no time to get a better photo

This guy was along the path to work. Yeah, he was slow enough for me to go get the camera, lay on the sidewalk and take several shots. I've always liked turtles - even rescue them from roads.

In June, 5 female turtles selected the beach in front of WG resort to lay around 250 eggs. After nursing for 55 days, the eggs have finally hatched!

I got this idea from a flickr friend, Lenny, although he did a much better job with his red ear slider (we call them streaker heads down here) than I did with mine. Thanks Lenny!
