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.

Rendezvous !? 😍

Tracked Turtle

Caught these 4 amigos basking in the warm spring sunshine. I believe these are Red-eared Sliders which are not native to BC but come from pet stock.

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.

The little turtles sat on the backs of the others.

Turtles stare at me as I take their photo

After our 3rd turtle high, Brad spotted our 4th turtle! Last year, Luis and I didn't spot a turtle until our 2nd week. Then on our 3rd day of diving, we got 4. And this 4th one was beautiful! Too bad Brad didn't bring Snorkel along.

I just liked the reflection this cute little turtle made on the under-surface of the water.

Another stranded turtle, this Green Sea Turtle will be released when well.

I used to have pet turtles that I had to sadly give up for adoption because they got too big for an apartment living.

Terrapene ornata

This turtle got stuck on a rock in the Japanese Garden in the aboretum in Seattle.

at least I think so. found it on a trail in the Musquash, carried it to a safer spot, took some photos and let it go in a vernal pool. the resident bullfrog was put out. This one was much braver than the Blanding's turtle despite being half its size.

During an afternoon of shooting on the banks of the Piscataquog river in New Boston, NH I came across this little critter. It was just standing (lying?) there, in the shade of a tree on the river bank.

Faithful to the stereotype it wasn't moving very fast and this left me plenty of time to take all the shots I wanted :)

Back at my computer I set out to identify its species and it turns out this is a Wood Turtle -- an endangered species. Cool!

This Box Turtle has taken up residence in my ground bird bath. He is in the bath every day and often completely submerged. His little head pokes out for a breath of air on occasion and then he is back to his cool shady bath :)

Little turtle we found on walk.

a male and a female green sea turtle during their mating rituals....

He thinks you look funny.

Look at how tiny he is. Those aren't big rocks next to him, those are tiny pebbles. We saw him on our walk at Independence Grove.
