Naomi found this beauty …

… through the front window, walking across the walkway.
Now to try and figure out what kind it is. Maybe a Red Eared Slider? Doesn’t seem to have enough of a ridge down its back to be a Map Turtle. It was very large and heavy… between 8-9 inches long. Had red markings on its head, behind the eyes. So darned cute.
No, it never bit my finger or even tried to bite… I hurt that all on my own. LOL
I walked it down to Sugar Creek Reserve and let it loose so it wouldn’t get hit by a car or pounced on by a kid/dog.
Such a wonderful treat to see!
I didn’t stick around long enough to watch it walk away but it finally poked its head out.
