FIRST RED EARED SLIDER OF THE YEAR!!!

in #nature5 years ago

Big thanks to Pinkie-Pepper on this one!


Check out what our oldest daughter caught! Her methods of capture may be different than mine, but she still got it. Actually, this one was on the road, so she just picked up it, unlike me who'll jump neck-deep in the swamp, as shown in this video below.

Anyway, although they are a popular pet turtle that has become an invasive species worldwide, I've always enjoyed them and we are pleased to live in a location where they naturally occur. Here are a couple photos from earlier. Enjoy!

Oh wow. Little guy would insist on a resteem
It's 430 am, I will show him when the sun comes up. He is turtle crazy.

LOL - Hope he enjoyed it when he saw it!

Such colors on that turtle! God could have made everything with just a couple of colors. I always like to think that if we are living in a fallen, sinful, broken world with such beauty around I can only imagine what a perfect world is going to look like!

1 question...I know you don't do it now but did you at any point in the past ever eat a turtle?

In the past I've had a little turtle, not much, but Snappers sure do stink up a storm when you cook them!

Those are cute photos of the turtle. I've seen one recently extend it's neck on a video. If you get your hands on those pictures let me know!!
