Sun bathing in the Tortuguero National forest.

Found this guy crossing Transit Rd near Lossen at 2PM. Stoped and picked him up before he became a member of the road kill gang. Took him home cleaned him off and after almost loosing a finger turned him loose in Caz creek.

These are found in Sweet Springs

That's where I first saw the turtle. I turned back and helped it to the side. A small to mid-sized beauty, I waited ten minutes for it to peek out and finally gave up and went on my way. A different type of turtle than I'm used to seeing.

This box turtle was laying eggs in our yard

Carved out of stone from Brazil (I think), the green and black in the stone were ideal for this turtle.(1998)

Three year-old attractive european turtle...

What amazing

I noticed this snapping turtle as I was driving into my neighborhood. It looked like she was trying to find a place to lay her eggs, but when I came back later, I didn't see any.

Box Turtle in the yard. Box Turtles look at you like they hate you. They probably do.

Excuse the back scatter but sometimes you have to take what you can get.

Look at the cute face! These are a Threatened species in Illinois. I was at a conference in northern Illinois a few years back and we got to visit a site where they are doing research on these cool (and super cute) turtles. Emydoidea blandingii, Emydidae. Northern Illinois, Summer 2010.

Ahhhh 4 grown men wept when this appeared in the seagrass :)

Laying eggs in the dirt parking lot. In Elm Creek Park Preserve.

There were five kids using nets in South Fletcher's Creek. They caught this baby snapping turtle (about 4 inches in length). They brought up to the bridge and allowed me to take a few pictures. The kids then put the turtle back in the creek. Ravinswood Ravine. Brampton Ontario Canada.

She was on the edge of a field, so she was probably about to (or just did) lay eggs.

May, 2012. New Jersey.

A beautiful female Eastern Box Turtle crosses a busy rural road in New Jersey. The Garden State is the most densely populated state in the country and in turn many of its roads carry unusually high traffic volume. This coupled with fragmented habitat makes Eastern Box Turtles exceptionally vulnerable to road mortality. The Eastern Box Turtle is listed as a Species of Special Concern in New Jersey.

A turtle decided it wanted to cross the road at Stony Creek Metropark in Washington Township Michigan to get to the lake.

I guess no motorist could use the excuse hat it darted out in front of me.
