DarkEdge Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 WHAT KIND OF TURTLE IS THAT?!? I caught one yesterday morning. I couldn't get it out of the water, and it wouldn't fit in my net. Got to be one of the ugliest I've seen in a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkEdge Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Any of the ones I've seen have had much more jagged shells. Maybe I'm use to seeing a different breed? I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
