Thanks, all five of those turtles where found in the same general area of about 500 square feet. The variation is incredible, the bottom one was a male, while the two orange ones appeared to be juvenille's, but looking to be males. The two lower females were very heavy and close to laying eggs. The third to last was my favorite, she was huge and heavy, and had markings like I've never seen, not your typical jersey eastern. I should have pictures throughout the summer. Take care
