Florida Softshell

We had an uncommon for our yard visitor the other day, a Florida Softshell turtle. I have seen them before in PCB, but down at St. Andrews State Park. I am guessing she is a she, as the females are larger than males and she was quite large for a softshell. We've had many turtles nesting in our yard this spring, having sandy ground and being close to the creek. We don't mind, they don't disturb much. Most of our turtle visitors are Box Turtles. She is our biggest reptile to visit us yet. I hope it stays that way. :-)



My, what long neck you have.
