Look what I found today! I spent some time weeding my flower gardens and was putting up my gloves and tools when I saw this little guy. He is tiny! I have never seen one this small out in the wild before. I picked him up and he quickly withdrew into his shell and took his dear sweet time in poking his head out again for me to take some pictures. I put him in one of my gardens and after he felt safe enough he took off. I have never seen a turtle move as quickly as this one does, nothing slow about him! I don't know if he'll like staying in the garden or not but for now that is where he is. I hope he will hang around.
this will give you some idea of his size, slightly larger than a quarter
