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

Poor Cook is all tuckered out. She's had a long day.

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!

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

Love Guinness. I keep Guinness mugs in the freezer just for the occasion.

This is my favorite turtle. His name is Testudo.

I heard that snappers are mean.
