This turtle is IMPRESSIVE! She is an Albino Florida Softshell (Apalone ferox).

LMAO, what in the world was he doing? It look funny, being in what looked like not a very big pond for a human to be in. How big is that turtle, it looked pretty big. Bigger then I thought they got.

Wow. Swimming with awesome turtles, does it get better then that? .

@wellington, I think the record of this species is somewhere around 22". The biggest I've found was easily 18". They get big .

 

[wellington]

Wow, thanks. I guess I have always only seen what looked like smaller ones.

Hahaha, it's a pretty big pond, 12' diameter, 3000 gallons. I was vacuuming the bottom of it because the water hyacinth drop roots like crazy.
