Little Wood Turtle
Today I found a tiny wood turtle along one of the paths that I was walking here in Allegany State Park. Wasn’t the smallest Wood Turtle that I have ever found but it is unusual to find little ones like this!! Of course I had to take a few pictures of it!
Me holding the little Wood Turtle!

Cute little guy even with the scaly little legs. I’m glad you took a shot of you holding it so we can see the size.

I’ve only seen box turtles in our area and only the adults.

What a sweet thing. I found a very small turtle once, probably a little larger than a quarter, on Loop Road in Big Cypress National Preserve. I couldn’t believe how tiny it was and only took a photo with the camera phone. I should upload it some day.

How cute! And what a funny personality (or maybe that’s you?!)…

Wow.
What I would do to find a baby turtle.
I consider it great luck to find any turtle at all. A baby, no less!
I’ve always assumed the little ones stay so well concealed, it’s almost impossible.

I remember the other one you found. Glad to see this one is in good shape. I took a “cabin fever” walk on Saturday, but I wasn’t so lucky. No turtles or other animals, unless you count horses.

I miss wood turtles! they were common here when I was a kid and now you never see them. I don’t think my kids have ever seen a single one.

I’m an avid turtle lover so I really enjoyed your pictures. I have never seen a wood turtle!

Looks something like the turtle I found walking across the highway near my summer cottage in Muskoka, Canada. Photo on my blog.

The color on wood turtles… so pretty! I want to find one!

WOW – how cool!

I think I’m going to vote the wood turtle the most attractive out of all turtles. The last photo was priceless!
20 August 2008 at 9:25 pm
What an attractive little fellow. Love that last shot — and the caption!
20 August 2008 at 10:24 pm
He’s quite fiesty for one so small! Watch out for your fingers.

nice find and shots — I especially like the Gamera-like pose in the last shot (extra points if you know who Gamera is).
