Field Notes

Description:

The shell is plain brown and domed, and the plastron is generally plain yellow. There are three toes on the back foot.

Habitat:

Found crossing the road right in front of my house after a rain. Brought him into my yard for pictures and let him go, in hopes he would stay in my yard and I could have a yard turtle, but I haven't seen him since.
