When I was making my rounds this a.m. I saw my large Florida soft-shell out of the water. Its not something you see very often. She's about 18" front to back.

And while I was taking her picture, the Phrynops came out of the water to see if I had anything to eat:

The pond was over-full, and thus easy to climb out of, however, I have what I THINK are two males (smaller) and one female, so she might be looking for a nest-digging spot.

Such nice clear pictures of her. So did you have goodies for those other two "starving" turtles? :D I always feel bad when somebody begs and my hands are empty.

What a face on that Phrynops. I would be giving him hand outs all day if he kept looking at me like that.

They are all lovely Yvonne. It must be quite interesting to have so many different types of Turtles.
