Was driving home today and I saw a pretty small/ medium sized turtle crossing the road! At first, I thought/ really hoped it was a florida box turtle because that road spot was where I found a florida box turtle crossing a few years back. However, after I stopped and took some pics I realized it was a Florida chicken turtle! First time I have seen one! The area where it was found is cow fields and wooded areas, with a pond and some streams nearby. The turtle was heading across the road away from the pond and I moved it across to where it was headed after pics. I can't really tell if it was male or female, I'm bad at sexing turtles. So if any of you can tell from my pics that would be cool. Didn't get a good pic of the tail and cloaca as I was in a rush. But yeah, super cool turtle!
