At the turtle farm on Grand Cayman they had big pools with giant turtles swimming in them. Some of the turtle pens opened onto a beach area that the turtles could climb up on. I think it was just too hot at the time of day that we were there and so the turtles were all piled up in the pools to keep cool.

I really think the turtle in the foreground was sweating!

Our turtle, Murphy, is still molting. The bits of shell that you can see curling up are called scutes.

This photo op was reported to me by some fellow visitors who observed it but didn't have the right camera gear. We hiked about a half mile along this channel just to get this pic! Tree climbing turtles are special!

"Strewth, Where did all these folks come from? Used to be peaceful when I was a lad."

These turtles are actually full of red hot lava, which you can see through the cracks in their skin.

 

People are required to stay at least 15 feet away from them, to avoid getting burned.

This guy came visiting us last weekend.
