In our flower bed

A picture, I've made at Zoo Saarbruecken.

Painted turtles lay their eggs in late May-June in a gravelly bank up to a hundred feet from the water. The female then covers the eggs which hatch out around September. The young 'uns then stay in the nest until the following spring.

tropical turtle for sale

This poor turtle was found several kilometers from the nearest water, it was quite dehydrated and has had a lot of run ins with crocodiles in the past by the look of its shell. I relocated him to the lake but am quite sceptical of its survival. Emydura subglobosa worrelli. Lake Moondarra, Mount Isa, QLD.

Though it looks almost the same, this turtle is actually very different (and very far away from) the other turtles I have taken pictures of.

I was calling this a gopher but was informed it is not a gopher tortoise, After a bit of investigation I believe this is a Mississippi Map Turtle. I can now easily identify a gopher tortoise. Thanks Swamper !

He is large. Those are full-sized cinder blocks just about a foot below him.

 

Saw this little guy while coming home. I think he (or she) left the stream on the side of the road to cross over to the other side, perhaps to lay eggs (I've seen turtles do just that in nearly the exact same spot in the past).

He was in the yard.

Florida Box Turtle, Terrapene carolina bauri

This turtle was found in north Tampa. Most Florida Box turtles have more prominent radiating lines on the carapace, but there is a great deal of morphological variation in the Florida populations. The carapace design of this male is similar to the more northern subspecies, Terrapene carolina carolina, found over a hundred miles north of this location, from (roughly) the Florida/Georgia border northwards. But the neck stripe and the brown, rather than red, eyes are characteristic of T.c. bauri.
