Snapper turtles can grow to be very large. The first time I found one, it was twice the size of my foot! They can be found near most water sources. Like most turtles, cars and dogs are the most common cause of injury. If you find one, leave it alone, unless it's near a road.

Green Turtle (Caretta caretta) at the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery, Sri Lanka. This is one of a number of resident turtles that have been rescued and, for various reasons, are unfit to return to the wild.

This is what I call a turtle's eye view. I have Lucky up on a bale of hay so that we can see the colors that another turtle would see. From up above Lucky is much more drab.

Lucky is a male "Three-toed-boxturtle." I was surprised to learn that the name Lucky is used a lot for naming turtles. I suppose that comes from the near-death situations that they are found. Except for a chunk of missing shell on his belly, Lucky was in pretty good shape when I took him in.
