i was on my way home from getting george some food when i saw a turtle trying to cross the street less than a block from my apt.
so when i got home i threw the salmon in the fridge and ran back to catch
it

i will post some pics when it decides to come out of its shell

It may have been going to lay eggs...

[Zephyr]

Also, the shell is one of the best means of ID for turtles...

i already know its a painted turtle i dunno oif it was going to lay eggs there is a nice shore right next to the lake it came from and it was about 300-400 meters from that lake

im going to release it back there after i get the pictures

[Zephyr]

I'd bet it was a layin'. :P

ok i got some shots and i checked out how to sex the turtle and it is definately a male, he looks really grumpy, but wouldn't you be grumpy if you were just saved from crossing the street.

[Zephyr]

Definitely a female.

[crzy_kevo]

why would you say female
the tail is too long and wide for it to be female

[Zephyr]

Nails and the sheer size.

hmm im gonna double check on that
