I have mentioned before in a thread that one of our favorite turtles is Scratch. She is actually and intergrade Western/Southern Painted turtle. She loves to have her back scratched. She swims up to the windows when we are out and wants someone to scratch her back. If you let go, she momentarily sinks, but immediately swims right back up for more...

Here's a picture of her on the top right by the Suwannee Cooter, compared to a full Western painted in the bottom right.
