The New Ninja Tribe - Midland Painted Turtle Set

            Every so often we find turtles coming up on our property and laying eggs. I've never seen any ever make it to term, the holes get dug out and the eggs eaten.  This year I put a metal wire fence of sorts around the nest to see if I could improve the odds. That was back on 22 May. The eggs were due to hatch around the beginning of August which came and went.  31 August I checked the nest as I often do and it looked like the rock hard dirt clod over the hole moved a bit! I removed the dirt and found four little babies waiting to get out! 
After a brief stay, I sent them back to the pond, perhaps to reunite with their family. 

I'm pretty sure I have 4 male Midland Painted Turtles (Chrysemys picta marginata). I thought they would be Eastern Painted turtles but the shell segments point to the Midland. See turtle on right.
