  • The Baby Painted Turtle
  • Title: The Baby Painted Turtle
  • Artist: Trillium_Fae
  • Description: I came along just as this little one was digging itself out of the soil at the side of the road. I kept my hand in the shot because I wanted to show how tiny it was! It's an eastern painted turtle.

  • Thanks Usagi for the comment and rate. However, that method of determining sex does not apply at this age. Normally you can tell a turtle's gender by tail and claws, but not until they're a couple of years older. ^_^ (I work with state scientists on local herp population)
