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.

these sea turtles in Mexico are huge, my first real encounter with them, and when we swam with them at Akumal Beach, down the coast from where we stayed near Xcaret, you got a real sense of their being and an amazing feeling to be snorkelling above these wonderful animals as they swam along the bottom of the sea bed, occasionally surfacing for air. Riviera Maya, Mexico...summer 2016.

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

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.

(-corrected -) I'm not sure of the breed of this turtle. I think it is a box turtle, correct me if I'm wrong.<- corrected-)

It is a Box turtle.

I ended up stomping on him because I couldn't pry him out of his shell.

Just kidding! I could pry him out of his shell and did so I could have turtle soup when I got home.

STILL kidding! I killed him just to watch him die, like the guy in Reno I shot one time.

Still kidding. I love turtles. I just got a few pics and left him alone.

Please don't kill turtles!
