Went for a dirt road ride last evening and we almost didn't see her. This old girl was laying her eggs and nothing was going to stop her. She didn't hiss and didn't seem upset by us so we snapped a few pics before it got too dark. We saw a couple rabbits, a partridge and lots of fireflies....no big critters, though.

Can you tell I love turtles??

It's come to my attention that most reptiles look smug. This turtle is no exception.

(Kinosternum flavescens). Lynn County, Texas.

This is an old photo of Bloopman, a Florida Cooter, nibbling on some anacharis. He is in a small box that I used as a "restaurant" for his meals. Turtles are messy eaters, and feeding him in his big tank was a pain!

 

Bloop passed away today (8/13/09) and we are all very sad. :-(

Chinese Striped-necked Turtle,

Ocadia sinensis, Hongkong.

Exotic, occurs in China, released to the wild.

Detail of the injured turtle I encountered on my ride this morning. One of it's hind legs was missing and a chunk gone from it's shell. My best guess is perhaps an Egret or Heron tried to make lunch out of it, though the injury did not look recent.

He was identified to me as a Gopher Turtle, and he was big! Cameraphone photo.

Sea Sense conducts both research and outreach programs. Its collection of data on sea turtle and dugong population sizes, incidents of egg poaching, and other information has been extremely helpful in guiding conservation projects. Armed with scientific data, Sea Sense has successfully educated local communities about threats to sea turtles and protecting their nests. (Photo courtesy of Sea Sense and the Born Free Foundation.)

I feel so lucky that I got to swim with this beautiful creature.... I stayed with it for quite a long time and it didn't seem to be bothered by me at all! I did keep my distance though, so as not to disturb it!

not see Gertle & her two lil buddies till spring.......

hibernation time for Terrapene carolina bauri (Florida Box Turtle).

 

I'm hoping to see them a few more times before they

burrow away for the winter... :)

 

UPDATE.... It's warming up again & Gertle is doing her

regular backyard stomp... :)
