so basically nobody knows? lol, the only other info I can give you is that I first saw it only "ripplies believe it or not" (dont think i spelled it right) explained as a turtle that would freeze in its steps during the winter then 2 months later thaw and walk on. The oinly thing I can remember about its description is that it is standard turtle lol nothing that in my eyes would set it apart, I can't even tell you the color (colorblind). Any more guesses, Its not a painted!
