My mother-in-laws pet turtle (the one that came with the house) really likes strawberries. It's so much fun to watch him eat.
It was a painted turtle like this who was the mother of Peanut, the baby (see my photos of that cute little thing!). Every summer, many mother turtles leave the marsh on our property, make their way through the woods, and find the perfect place to hide their eggs in our yard.
turtles seem easier to care for than other pets, they require lots of time and money. www.pinterest.com/pin/531565562241139131/

On the north shore of Oahu you're allowed to get fairly close to the turtles. The rule on Midway is to keep back 150 feet (same with the Monk Seals).

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.
Even among turtles, the Blanding’s is a long-lived species. In fact, these turtles have been documented to successfully breed past 70 years of age. Like most long-lived creatures they have a lower reproductive rate. Compared to most midwestern turtles, Blanding’s lay smaller clutches of eggs and lay less frequently.

Turtles are an order of reptiles which are all types characterized by a firm and often spherical shield .
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.
