The turtles are all back in the water.

I like turtles. I love the image I have in my head of your turtle climbing out of the water and then diving back in :)

The little turtle is about five inches across the shell from tail to head. The larger ones are ... more the a foot across the shell.
 
Buzz has two snappers that are about a foot across the shell.
 
He has to keep them in tanks, but in the summer they are outside and he regularly takes them our for a romp. They come inside for the winter.
 
He's had them since high school., We're planning on fitting them with a special harness so they can be pall bearers at his funeral ;)
 
The big turtles like to get comfy then settle down for long spells. The little is hyper in comparison, climbing out over here ... climbing out over there. A lot more active. The little one has a flotation problem. She swims with this 45 degree roll. She had this defect since I rescued her.

I think I love her even more now! :586:
 
69 in the apartment, 57 outside. I think I'll have one of these with dinner.

What kind of turtles?

Snapping turtles. Here's a picture of George mid-romp. He was heading towards a wall he likes to climb and decided to take a little break and just hang with his chin on the stone :)
