Backyard Turtle

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.

These turtles are so cool! Are theses wild or are they pets!.

Artist Reply: Well, the orange headed one isn't really a pet, but its not afraid and been in the back yard for a very long time. The others ones we'll have to see if they're here this spring

Artist Reply: She really wasn't posing..I was trying to keep up with her...they can really move fast

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 ok

Artist Reply: I really have enjoyed this turtle and I look for it each spring to see if its made it another year..I too have never seen another one like it..THANKS for the comment

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! :D
