These turtles were unfortunately captive in a large pool areas, which had fresh sea water, but still wasn't big enough (10x10 meters). It was at a hotel in Buka.

Chrysemys picta, Western Painted Turtle.

The turtle on the left was a gift from a friend in Scotland, and the turtle on the right is a gift from my poetry professor. The photo is one I bought on etsy, and the pillow was made from a vintage crazy quilt. I picked that up at Secret Treasure, an antique store in Evanston.

Saw this one first, and he was tiny! He couldn't have been much bigger than a half dollar coin.

A turtle in the marsh at the first place that British people settled in the New World - Jamestown, VA

This turtle was wandering the neighborhood for two days.........we picked it up and asked neighbors if anybody knew who it belonged to. ( I mean, it's pretty hard to lose a turtle, not like it can make a quick get-away) No owners found, so we called a Desert Turtle rescue, and they will pick him up. I didn't know they were endangered, due to destruction of their habitat, and slowness to reproduce........The female doesn't start to lay eggs until 15-20 years (like a good girl ).........after that, every 2-3 years.

Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina) found crossing a road at Duke Farms.

Loads of personality. Eastern Box Turtle. Chattanooga area, Tennessee.

Rain today so back to my turtle visit. One of the fun mornings

This guy was given to me by a friend. Quite possibly one of the most active box turtles I have ever dealt with, and with the most intricate patterning.

This turtle had dug a hole and was laying eggs right next to a large pavilion in the park. Luckily no one was in the pavilion at the time. Hope she remained undisturbed. Anyone know what kind of a turtle she is? She was at least a foot long.

Pelusios is a genus of African side-necked turtles. The Latin name Pelusios means "mud" or "clay" and this is reflected by the turtles habitually burying themselves to find refuge and food. Several species have been described, with probably numerous undescribed species. The taxonomy of the genus is very confused, as these species show many local variations. Certain species, in isolated areas or with reduced populations, need to be observed as they face a distinct extinction possibility given the significant number collected by native people. They are found throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, São Tomé, and the Seychelles islands. They have also been introduced on the islands of the Lesser Antilles.

It's been a long time since I've played with (held) a turtle. We used to collect box turtles when I was a kid.
