An uninvited guest

[Freak]

We had a visitor in the pool today. Anyone know what kind of turtle this is?

Box turtle.

I think you're right.

.......a drunk one?

This one, I think has been living in my back yard for a few years. I've run across him (at least I think it's the same one), for the last three years.

Today, I thought it was dead. My dog had it cornered. I left the shell thinking the turtle has been an afternoon snack for my pooch. A while later, my wife text me the pic. It had somehow made it into the pool.

I'm not sure it could have gotten out of the pool on its own though, but who knows.

Yep. He was a mean one!

No. 4 or 5 inches across seems about right. Box turtles were the first animals i saw have sex. It was tasteful

Looks like it.

I kinda view the one in my yard as a pet since I seem to run across him every year. Is that weird? Honestly, I was kinda pissed when I thought my dog had killed it.

Turtles having sex is something I can't even visualize in my mind. Not that I'd want to. 😬

My kids asked for a pet turtle the other day. I told them catch one!

Freak if he snuck in uninvited, it's a ninja turtle.

Saw a video with Megan fox and Michelangelo that could possibly change your mind.
