I've had this turtle for around 10 years in my backyard..when it was given to me it's shell had been chewed up really bad..there'a a hole in its back and most of the edges are gone...But it loves it in my yard. I've seen it go out of the fence and come back later.

What a cool color this turtle has I have never seen one like this I have a pond in my yard and have seen many that come out of there but never one of these markings I am glad he has made it for so long and you was able to give it refuage in your yard lets hope on his escapades outside the yard he is okChris Roukema 23 Nov 2008

I've never seen a turtle with these lovely colors! I'm glad you keep him safe in your backyard, seems like he has some age on him. Hope he lives for many more years to come! :DBrenda Loveless 08 Sep 2008
