One of my fav turtles

[Katherine]

This pretty little lady is one of the friendliest box turtles I own. The sulcatas and leopards are always sociable but most my box turtles evade me- it's cool to have a few with great personalities and infinite curiosity about humans. Anyways I just love her and wanted to share her here : ) She has some old shell damage but is beautiful none the less and a true enjoyment for me to keep. Love for a turtle is an awesome thing : ) : ) : ).

She is GORGEOUS! I love brightly colored Three Toed girls, and she is definitely bright!

 

[Tccarolina]

Wow, she is amazing! I've never seen a three-toed that brightly colored. She has a fantastic face!

What sort of filter did you apply to make that image?

 

[jojodesca]

She's was a full grown adult ten years ago when she became ours... So older than that but I have no idea by how much. She still lays fertile eggs, so she can't be tooo ancient. She's smaller than most my females about 5 1/2 inches long with a really high dome

I took it on my iPhone haha. I actually have an awesome Canon but am too lazy to use it, take pics and upload them as I only use the forum on my phone. Plus I don't usually intend to photograph the tortoises, and so only have my phone on my when they make themselves available. So to answer your question, it's a regular I phone photo with a water drop blur on it.

I was referring to the blurred margins and the black framing, not color.

Well, I like it.

I shoot canon as well (50D), but even with nice lenses, they don't do everything. I get many spontaneous shots with my android phone or my canon point and shoot.

This little lady laid 5 eggs today! She usually only does 2 or 3. I don't even know where she fit them all! So pleasantly surprised.

Beautiful tortoise

 

[Katherine]

Thank you!

How large are your girls? It's not unusual for me to get five eggs from some of my bigger females but this little lady is so... well little!

 

[turtlemann2]

well this is my first year with all of them laying! im sure this summer when my gulfs lay ill be getting some large clutches most hadnt been with a male and thus the occational egg was laid at random and usually not buried
