Speaking of turtles
« on: July 14, 2010, 04:21:17 PM »
No idea where she/he came from but the poor baby was in my preformed in the ground pond.  I say poor baby because she/he couldn't get back out.

Isn't she a beaut?

So I rescued the turtle and released it in a private lake with permission!

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

Holy smokes!  I was expecting to see a small quarter sized turtle!  If something that large wondered into my pond I would definitely fish it out and count my fin friends!   :o  But he/she is a cutie!

red ear slider Scott. They get dark as they get old, especialy males. It gets hard to make out the red ear patch.
