Field Notes

Description:

Brown shell with green and yellow striped skin. There are red patches on the side of the head. This guy just hatched out last year so he still has a bright pattern and was even still a little squishy.

Habitat:

In a pond in thorn scrub habitat. We drug a seine through a small pond and came up with 6 of these guys, all this size.
