BABY TURTLE PHOTOGRAPHY – MUSK TURTLE

in nature •  6 years ago 

These turtles are so cool, they're cold-blooded!


Today is day three of my baby turtle photo adventure. The first time I featured the False Map Turtle, and last time it was the Red Eared Slider. Today it is the Musk Turtle, AKA "Stinkpot!" Check these little guys out!

MUSK TURTLE PHOTOS

For starters, I'll give you a good look at the carapace (top of the shell) and the plastron (bottom of the shell.) Along with the other photos, this should help you if you ever encounter any of these species.

Here's the rest of the photos!

Those photos just touched my hurt.

Glad to hear it.

They're so itty bitty and so cute! Are you collecting them in a terrarium or are they being photographed and returned to the wild?

Temporarily detained is the way I like to put it. I may eventually get a few in a pond here, but I'll have to build the pond first.

That would be cool to have your own pond. I have been wanting a decent-sized pond/small lake for a while. I think it would be fun to make my own as well. Yes, it would be a lot of work, but I could potentially make it to the specs I wanted. Customize it so it would be nice for swimming and fishing.

It sounds like maybe it's on your list of things to do... eventually.

Those are great photos of the turtles! So cool! What camera are you using and lens? :)

CANON EOS Rebel T7i with a macro lens.

Awesome. I love the canon line. I have a 70D which I have had for quite awhile now, and still love it, mostly use it for video, but use it for photos as well. :) I have a variety of lenses, but still don't own a macro lens yet.

Hi @papa-pepper! Thanks for sharing; they are the best !!! I love it, I have two and they are part of the family for 11 years! Enjoy them! Blessings.

Wow! Turtles are so much fun, aren't they?

These are just soooo cute! You have been a great education on turtles. I love how such little guys have such big characters! An unexpected treat, thanks. 🌈💛🌴🦋❤️

They really are cute! I've always enjoyed tiny turtles!

That's a cute turtle papa. I need to go back and see if I can find papa-pepe the frog now that winter is over. He was huge the last time I saw him.

OH yeah - That cool Bullfrog, right?

I used to see it everyday last summer, but I guess he was hibernating when it got cold. I need to go see if he's still in the same area and get a new picture.

Beautiful turtles photography. That color is lovely. Thanks for shared with us @papa-pepper

And that you for checking it out!

This the face i make when I see steem near a dollar lol

LOL!

Looks like you're running a turtle spa over there!

So these are the babies. How big can they get?

These guys may look harmless but they sure do smell awful when frightened!
