which one should I get?!?!?! all are smaller species that wont be larger than 16 inches when they are adults. all have a life span of 50 years or more.

oh damn thats a tough one.. if I *had* to choose (well I’d probably snatch them all up if I could) That last one has a little mischievous face,  the kind that always wins me over.. oh and number four is so itty bitty I just want to put it in my pocket!

So, I was playing field hockey in my front yard, and just happened to look down and see a turtle. I’ve never seen , like, a legitimate turtle. It was a box turtle and everything. Now I’m all worried about it. My front yard leads to a small road, and I’m not sure if I should move it to my backyard,…

rule of thumb is always move it in the direction it was going. thats an awesome creature to find at your feet!

My latest Housatonic River encounter.  Me, him; we are curious, steadfast. And we are not amused.

Someone got a little dirty while playing in the garden the other day. She’s discovered the joys of digging down into the dirt, especially in the muddy areas.

Galapagos Tortoise. It watched us very carefully as it chewed its grass for as long as we watched it.

Oh you were given the #turtpocalypse side eye of warning..
