Texas Cooter

These are a decent-sized pond turtle endemic to Texas. Their shells are usually relatively bland, or so covered in algae you can't see their shell properly, but this one had a particularly spectacular shell.

Habitat
A shallow, weedy extension of a decent-sized pond, probably coming out of hibernation after that nasty freeze.

You did well to get these, my experience of turtles and terrapins, they get down under the water as soon as you come anywhere near them ๐Ÿ™‚ (Like the other two in the picture!)
