• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

I don't know about joining them? How about eating them!

*visions of turtle soup float in my head*
 
Cazzie,......I noticed a few of them have green moss or something growing on their shells. Is that normal,....or a
different type of turtle from the rest? (Maybe bottom
feeders?)
 
Except for alligator snapping turtles, they are really interesting reptiles. I had terrapins (box turtles) as pets all my life, taught my sons how to keep and feed them.

Brad, those are eastern shore sea turtles, the green is algae, not moss and it is common.

Shame on you cheezy, skip a turtle, LOL! I imagine the little ones on the log would skip pretty good, be a trip for the turtle. :icon_lol:

Sometimes you don't want to lie in the sun, it's better to cover oneself with ground litter and chill out.

Will she give the kids rides Chacha? :icon_lol:

They all are long-lived if the can make it past infancy and youth. They are wonderful creatures, again except for the alligator snapping turtles, most are docile and gentle. We shoot snapping turtles here because they kill baby ducks one by one in the water. Make good turtle soup too jmig. :icon_lol:
