I love the mud and musk turtles, and its great to see another herpetologist on Project Noah! I look forward to checking out the rest of your photos and following you in the future. I recently created a new mission - Turtles of the Southeast U.S. Please join the mission sometime and consider adding this terrific spotting to the mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/10588529
