My turtle's hatching!

[Cascadia]

I have had several turtles in my life...

One red-headed slider that I had when I was 9...we had it for 13 years in an aquarium. Then we moved it to our pond. Sometimes it got out and went on the road...we always had to rescue it.

We rescued a snapping turtle from the highway and put it in our pond.

Then I had a Painted turtle and a Western Box Turtle in my apartment...they were hard to keep because apparently I the cold air got them even though it was warm in my apartment.

2 years ago, I rescued a 30 year old turtle from the road and carried it home. It was placed in the pond with the others...it has not left.

So congrats on your new addition to your family.
