Wow. You've got quite a few turtles there. I've always loved this species, but never partaken.

Thank you for sharing with us. I'd love to sit in front of that pond for hours.

I got a few nice bottles of wine we could open and really enjoy!!

That sounds like an invitation! An invitation that I will take you up on someday. :)

I come up that way from time to time for work, so I will let you know.

Spotted turtles are GORGEOUS and your pond is wonderful!
I seriously considered getting a spotted turtle, but my Mississippi mud, Jacques, came my way first. :p

Absolutely an invitation. I would look forward to it. We might even have to discuss the value of a " $2500 mutt"

No mud turtles. That's a musk you see which is hard to differentiate from above in the picture

And, yes that's a terrapin. We love them but have learned they just don't thrive in fresh water so a lots of work now with frequent brackish water soaks. Looking to build a smaller brackish pond for them since they're Brenda's favorites. Terrapins and spotteds have amazing friendly personalities - love to be hand fed!
