Quite a good lookin' group you got there.
Here's one my son noticed just this very eve' as we were walkin' home from a look at the laurel blooms in the wood. Had a little of what looked like some very old shell scarring but fine and dandy elsewise.

Cooorect, the very edge of evening itself. This was a female right?
(from my limited learned herp knowledge) A goodly amount of soil had been displaced as well as a small hole dug that I would not have expected from this animal. It almost looked like a chipmunk hole. Just some FYI Dragon.
I ain't a herper as you well imagine.

I found this painted turtle laying some eggs on Sunday and another one scouting out locations. It was about 3-4 in the afternoon.
