Painted turtle Capture and rescue......(pics)

Here is a baby that I caught and released back into her home. She was so light, but that shell is pretty tuff.

As for the adult female, she almost was smashed. I got her in the neck of time when I and a friend noticed her crossing and a car coming at more than 50mph! I knew the driver saw the turtle and I made them come to a stop while I picked her up from the road. She showed her appreciation by peeing all over my arm n legs! LOL. But she was definatly gravid and ready to lay eggs. I'm sure she did that the same day after I released her into another pond near-by.

Enjoy,

P.S. These guys are way too common over here. You catch more in the road than you do in the ponds. LOL
