Every summer we have a painted turtle come up from a pond and lay her eggs in my wife's garden.

Eight or ten weeks later these appear.

Had a visitor at the back door this morning!

Don't you love it when your next meal shows up at your door?

Chechen Itza, in the Yucatan, about 1h30m from Merida. Was pretty cool.

A close friend has a visiting snapper that returns every year for handouts. He is referred to as Einstine (the turtle) but more appropriately should be called Mrs Einstine or Ernestine as she lays eggs in the yard every year. She prefers canned dog food but does not know she is not devouring him. So I warn him to beware the hungry snapper.

I tried that with a big friendly snapper. It wanted nothing to do with the stick I provided, bypassed it and went straight away for the fingers. Fingers were just out of range, just barely, and a surprisingly long range.

That's a nice one!

Here's one from last summer, at Ichetucknee Springs. Thats not my dog... I was minding my business, throwing a line out, and drinking some coffee early in the morning, and this random dog came down the board walk, down the stairs, and sat down beside me

Watched these two "fighting"in the field for half an hour. Time to roost and he still can't leave her alone.

Was disappointed to find this empty turtle shell in the pasture yesterday, but heartened to see another very alive one cruising along 20 feet away. We seem to have a lot of them.

Several years ago my wife and I took a vacation to Missouri and hiked in your state parks. Was surprised how many of those we saw (alive).
