#dailyturtle It was indeed #turtletime when I was able to grab this 15kg Florida Softshell over the weekend! 🐢🐢🐢

#dailyturtle this beautiful and voracious little Central American Snapping Turtle was defining this piece of bacon in one of our traps on Costa Rica.

A little behind on #dailyturtle 🐢🐢🐢🐢. This is a weird observation of a likely escaped/dumped nonnative Ouachita Map Turtle In South Florida. We captured this individual as part of a population. Assessment in an urban pond. It was rehomed with a Florida based educator!

#dailyturtle here’s some photos of a very understudied species, the brown wood turtle (Rhinoclemmys annulata). We’re currently doing a project in unison with #turtlelove Costa Rica where we’ve been sampling and radio tracking this species on the Caribbean slope!

#dailyturtle Thislil Florida Box Turtle was captured on a survey about 3 years ago. We've marked ~ 400 individuals in this project since its inception in late 2019! If you want to read more about the work we've done on Boxies. Check out my Research Gate Page! www.researchgate.net/profile/Jord...

Kind of a sad #dailyturtle update… got the report from one of collaborators that the first box turtle ever marked in our first study in 2019 has passed on. ID#1- “Priscilla” was such a beautiful turtle and contributed data already to two published studies with two more on the way.

#dailyturtle enjoy these mangrove diamondbacks terrapins from southern Florida. 3 adult males (bottom) and 3 adult females (top) including a recaptured turtle with satellite tag! Major size dimorphism is present in this species, with males some times equaling 1/4 to 1/3 of the mass of females!

#dailyturtle gorgeous little Sonoran Mud Turtle found with a group of other herpers this past summer. Lifer species for me. So crazy that these aquatic turts can handle the desert as well as they do!
