Some Eastern Painted Turtles (Chrysemys picta picta)

A Subadult Red-eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans)

Nice pics man. Beautiful turtles.

Very nice. We don't seem to see that many semi-aquatic turtle pics in this forum. Here's a Western Pond Turtle I found in California a couple summers ago:

Third Eye

...The box turtles below were photographed as found in S. IL on the last day of a spring '04 herping trip. Though the other 3 photos are "staged", I thought you'd enjoy them!

Female blanding's turtle found wandering through a friend's SE Wisconsin yard.

Hatchling snapper
found in a SE Wisconsin swimming pool, fall of '05.

Relaxin' painter.

Thats a GREAT shot....such personality. I miss my Ornate Diamondbacks when I see photos like this.

Thanks for posting

Horridus

Thanks again! Everyone laughs at that one. One of these days I want to buy a captive-bred breeding pair or trio of spotted turtles -- the semi-aquatics and aquatics are such a blast! One of my favorites was a TINY baby musk turtle a friend gave me. I could watch his antics for hours and still be captivated.
