Heosemys spinosa hatching on 9 October 2010. This is the second one of these I have hatched at home. Unfortunately, I did not think the egg was initially viable and failed to write down the date it was laid.

FIELD MARK-The box turtle or box tortoise is a genus of turtle native to North America (United States and Mexico). The 12 taxa which are distinguished in the genus are distributed over four species. It is largely characterized by having a domed shell, which is hinged at the bottom, allowing the animal to close its shell tightly to escape predators.

The dogs found this small Painted Turtle just outside of the chicken yard. They are really pretty on the bottom, where the top is a plain color. I don’t worry about them bothering the ducks so I took it on over to the pond. When I put it down near the water it took stock of where it was at then leaped into the water and was gone. It must have had some frog in it also.
