As I went out back our house in South NJ to attempt to close our pool, found this little guy just floating and not moving. Actually thought it was dead until he "turtled up" when I picked him up. At first I thought he was a water turtle of some kind since it was in the pool but from pictures online of baby box turtles having that almost spine looking protrusion. So any help identifying this little guy is appreciated! Thanks

Hey all I'm new here!! On October 15th, 2014 we found a hatchling turtle in our local park we live in Ohio. We could see a large fish following him so we used our fishing poles and pushed him closer to the edge then got into the water and got him out. We've been told that he's a snapper,but the person wasn't completely sure. Here are some pictures of the little guy.

Last one of the night!! The first 4 pictures posted were taken on 12/10/2014. I don't remember the exact date this picture was taken. If you would like to see more pictures from when we first got him let me know and I will upload them. You can see the white on his mouth (I forget what it's called) and the small hole on the bottom of him where he was connected to the egg.

I had a batch of river cooters hatch and 2 out of the 12turned out like this. I don't believe they are albinos because their eyes are brown.

Is this perhaps a lavender phase? I have seen it in snappers in the past.

My friend lives in the pine barrens in NJ. Her dad keeps injured box turtles, and found this in their driveway. I thought it looked more like a sulcata than anything (even though I know it isn't one I'm just bad with tortoises), I'm pretty sure it's non native though. Does anyone know what kind it is/how to care for it if it needs to be cared for?

Can someone please tell me exactly what kind of map turtle this is? Every one that i've seen has different kind of eyes and different shell markings. My female map has all black eyes, not small pupils like sliders have. I just googled every type of map turtle i could find and none of them look like mine. some maybe parts of the shell or colors on the head but none have the same type eyes with the exact shell markings/designs. the baby maps I have are exactly like this one, too. I'd like to find out exactly what type of map they are before I put them up for adoption. I've got lots of babies.

Looks like a fairly typical Mississippi map to me.there's always going to be a little variation from the "norm", so in maps it's helpful to look at the head striping patterns

Original post by knksthisnthat — 2011-12-03 07:49:42 GMT

Ninja is our newest addition to our turtle front. He was a random free craigslist find. He was labeled as a painter. The lady has had him since he hatched on a pallet at her factory. His body (head and limbs) is identical to our other two painter twins. So i figured Ninja was the same as thomas and Jericho. But i looked at jericho compared to ninja and well they have way diffrent shells. Ninja is almost black, He does have red paint markings where top shell meets bottom shell, but the top of his shell is neat, he has a elongated shell compared to the other paints. and the tail end has clear edges on the schutes that makes his shell look jagged. He is a pretty neat little turtle minus his nasty attitude.
see what you think he is he is the one in the back if the pic is too crappy let me know. Jericho is the front one.

Here's the best reference I could find for the link between "pastel" coloration and developmental problems. It's thought that incubation temperature is the key.

Reply by apeltes — 2011-11-06 23:52:58 GMT

Hard to tell, but I'm almost certain they are red-eared sliders. They have color patterns that are abnormal. I've seen them labeled as "pastel" or "clown". I haven't been able to get a solid answer, but I think this is a developmental abnormality... often associated with other physical defects such as scute duplication... not a genetic trait like albinism. Thus, I don't think they would produce similarly colored offspring. I may be wrong, and I hope someone can clarify.

Hi there,

This turtle is chillin' in our backyard. He was in the driveway and I moved him to the back so we wouldn't run over him. He's not locked in there or anything. I'm not trying to keep him (though he's welcome to stay if he wishes).

This is in the Tampa Bay area (FL).

Please tell me what kind of turtle he is? Thanks!

I think I can see cusps on the upper beak, and there's the mustache-like yellow lines. I also think I see a faint arrow-like marking on the top of the snout. Lastly, the wrinkly-looking texture of the shell is visible.
