Cool little Eastern Box Turtle (I think) there Deborah, we don't have many creatures around us in the condo complex, a few anoles here and there, thats about it.

Your visitor has some very nice eyes and fantastic coloration! When I was growing up in Florida, we used to get some small turtles like him around. They had burrows in our back yard, and we used to have a lot of fun trying to catch them!

I didnt know they could completely close themseslves up!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That is by far the coolest find of the day!

He is very cute... I think I like pics of wild turtles on the lamb. They also just seem healthier then the ones I see in captivity.

Lovely markings on him.

So is your creek overflowing with turtles yet? :)
