June evening at Lake Maria State Park, MN. See a painted turtle in the grass and get out to get a few photos and expect it to run off like most painted turtles do, but it didn't. It was digging in the ground a hole and thought it was strange and then the first egg popped into the hole and watched her drop 8 eggs into the hole and then covered the hole and walked back to the lake.

Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta Caretta) coming ashore to lay eggs at Vounaki, Kyparissia Bay, Greece, July 2000. This turtle appears to be crying, whilst some might like to attach some emotional story to this, its probably just excreting salt or has something in its eye.
Snapping turtle. Regular visitor here at my pond in central Virginia. At least I THINK it's the same one.

Frick! (Yellowbelly Slider) actually let me get close and take photos of him basking. Usually if you go near the tank when they are basking they slide off into the water.
More from our underwater fun in Turtle Bay, Akumal Mexico. Again, I highly recommend spending $150 and getting one of these waterproof cameras if you ever find yourself on a tropical vacation with snorkeling or scuba diving planned. They're so much fun.

Well, Lenny and Squiggy can no longer be kept in the same tank anymore.
Squiggy is the smaller of the two turtles.
All this time, we thought Squiggy was the boy and Lenny was the girl.
It seems though that Lenny is a boy and Squiggy is either a girl or a small boy.
My Vet can't make up her mind right now. :P
Anyway, Lenny has been a bully towards Squiggy and to make things worse, is trying to mate with Squiggy.
Turtle sex ain't such a bad thing, except for the fact that Lenny bit off Squiggy's finger.
I pass out at Doctor's offices, so i can't deal with missing body parts.
This turtle hatched out of his egg and was on his way up when German dug him up. He had one more day before being released.
