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.

This turtle was crossing the road.

Snorkelling with turtles, near Bridgetown. A fantastic experience.

Loggerhead Sea Turtles are among the many endangered species of the world. Their brightly colored and less camouflaged shells lend a danger from predators. Humans impose a great deal of endangerment by illegal trade and killing of these beautiful animals

I swear that the turtle was posing for me. Guess I have a knack for talking to the animals?

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.

Painted Turtles are the most common and widely distributed of all turtles in the United States. Notice how far forward the eyes are on his little noggin. This helps him to see what going on above the water while exposing as little of his body as possible.

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.

This little guy stopped by for a visit today.

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.

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

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

So lately I've been getting a TON of hits from an ESPN Fantasy Football site.. which is totally cool! But it won't let me see exactly where it's coming from on the site (I keep getting this error: "You cannot view this private league because you are not a league member.")

So if you've come here from that site, I'd like to know what this picture's being used for - such a random one at that! (Just curiosity is all - use anything you want as long as it's linking back to me!)
