So, I was out for a nice evenings ride tonight and my nature saving skillz were once again called into action.
We'd been out for about an hour or so, and I had already told my previous days turtle tale. As we approached a small bridge I saw yet another turtle in the road. I swiftly pulled off, made a U-turn and made my way back the the creature.
I could see that this turtle was goin to be far more manageble than my previous encounter was. I quickly parked the bike and my passenger ran to rescues the little guy. She picked him up, identified him as a painted turtle and the promptly got Pee'd on by said painted turtle.
He did try to bite a few time, bit nothing like his cousin. I snapped a few pics, we made our way to the creek and sent him on his way.

She is makin her "Its Peeing on me" face, she's glad I got a pic of that. :lol:

On a side note my wife and I bring in rescues and near dead reptiles an amphibians rehabilitate and rehome (free to right home). Currently have 2 baby veiled Chameleons and two Panther Chameleons. Plus frogs and toads. So its always great to see people going out of their way to help the little guys out. :cheerleader:

Baby Chameleons are just about the neatest lookin lil things ever, I love the eyes, they're like little sattilite dishes moving all around.

Ya baby chams are hilarious looking they always make me smile. To bad folks get them and don't realize how much work and space to keep a cham. Heres a Pic of our current set up. Along with the lighting and heating and cages there is a expensive automated misting system that runs every few hours to keep humidity right and allow for drinking. Lots of time up there

Thats a great setup!:thumbsup:
I really liek the plant with a tent rather than a tank.
I wanted a Chameleon when I was a teenager, but a lil research led me to what you said, alot of work and attention. I ended up gettin some Red Eared sliders instead. Much easier to maintain. Hence I have to stop to help all turtles.


And Zuk- NO THEY DONT!!! :lala:

I like turtles also but not as much as my wife. She is obsessed with Turtles and Frogs thus our massive frog enclosures also. Moving is going to be a horrible horrible pain for us.

You can call it "Older Guy Mutant Kanji Turtle" I'll try to think up a catch tune for it. :laugh:

Don't forget all the work invested into building those enclosures from scrap. I know that was a ton of work, and I was only around for a little bit of it! Turned out nice though!
