Yesterday morning while I was working, I noticed a small movement outside out of the corner of my eye. But then I didn't see anything. I went back to working and noticed another small movement, but saw nothing that could have caused the leaves to move. I wondered if the chipmunks were back. It went on like this for close to five minutes before I saw the source.
He was a little guy, but with beautiful orange markings.
Look at this ridge down the back of his shell! It's like it leads directly to his tail.
He was a shy guy. As soon as I touched his shell, he pulled in his head, legs and tail. Then he closed up his shell.
Tight!
Not at all like the last turtle who probably hunts deer and wild coyotes.
I removed him from the backyard so he wouldn't be harassed by the cats or dogs. I released him in the side yard and within an hour he was gone. I just loved those orange spots on his front legs!
