Cute little turtle sunbaking

At the turtle farm

I am NOT coming out to play - and you can't make me!

 

Redirected this little guy from the middle of the road.

Mr. Turtle was living dangerously on the road, so we helped him out.

Missouri turtle :)

I came across this turtle as she was laying her eggs about 15 feet from the edge of the water. She had formed a hole with her back feet, and was covering the eggs as I watched. When I passed by a couple of hours later, she was gone but it was easy to see where she left her eggs. I'm not convinced she picked the safest spot, guess we'll see in a couple of months when they're due to hatch.

I found this turtle crossing the road. I stopped to move it to the side but saw that it was headed to woods that were being logged so I brought it home and put it at the edge of the swamp bordering our land. It's State land and the same kind of habitat. I hope the move works for this beautiful creature.

Turtles are reptiles most of whose body is shielded by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs. The earliest known turtles date from 215 million years ago, making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and there are about 300 species alive today.

A quiet inlet where you can sit and listen to the cicadas and watch the fireflies on a summer evening. Enjoy a boat ride or drop a pole in the water and try your luck. Bring a camera, a friend or someone special and enjoy this serene, picturesque little cove and keep an eye out for the turtles.

Attempting to lay eggs in the trail?

I encountered this one at Morikami Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, Florida, the other day. This is the closest I have ever gotten to one of these creatures.
