This is our neighborhood turtle, Jimmie. He is a little camera shy. He first came around We first discovered him last summer. When we were working in our front yard, he crawled out of the middle "jungle" around the pine trees. He stuck around for a couple of days and then we didn't see him again. We were pretty sure he was still close by, because we have noticed several nibbles on our plants throughout the year. The pictures below were taken last summer/fall.
If you compare the markings in these two photos with the first photo, you can tell it is the same turtle. Good ole' Jimmie. Some people say that you can mark them with fingernail polish to make sure it is the same turtle. I am pretty sure that would wear off in a year's time, however.
