We were lucky enough to see a sea turtle while snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. Not sure which species we saw; there are six species that live in the reef.

He's only 5 cm long !

The edge of shell, the carapace-edge (marginal) scutes, have a nice red design - these appear as the turtle age, it looks like it has been painted on and is where their name comes from.

I found this turtle on the road near Clayton Ontario today.

Another view of the turtle I got off the road last Sunday - a nice head-on view.

This Keys mud turtle (Kinosternon baurii) was one of six total mud turtles observed on two islands in the Florida Keys during a January 2016 survey. This listed reptile is one of the seven species being targeted during this study.

It’s huddled right in the corner of its glass enclosure, providing a challenge for cropping and brushing out reflections. Could you tell it’s behind glass by looking at this now?

Found this Diamond Back Terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin terrapin) half dead on the beach in the off season, brought her home and helped her recover. She is back in the wild again now.
