Say hello to Fred and Happy Birthday to E

isn't he cute (even if you think he isn't, say he is)

we found him in the back yard

we snatched him up after we knew for sure he wasn't a baby snapping turtle

from what we can tell and our quick research, he's a box turtle

perfect for a pet

his name is fred

yes, we name our turtles

the aquatic turtles are, dale, rusty, michael and bobby (yes, we hate nascar, lol)

in that first picture, he's actually pushing that pot around with his head

how about that, not only is he cute, he's strong

what else could you ask for in a turtle?

here he is in my planter box tj just built for me

we had to keep him somewhere till we decided if he was coming inside or not

we've emailed the NC Turtle Association or whatever it's called to see exactly what he is

should he be anything other than a box turtle, he's gone, bye, FREE TURTLE, kinda like FREE WILLY

ok, maybe not.........anywho.....

i'll be the first to admit, i know nothing about dry land turtles

he does hiss, but so do our aquatic turtles...we'll see

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO E
