Compared to some of the painted turtles we've had in the pond, this one is relatively small. I am wondering if it is the same one we've had in the pond for the last few years. It looks about the right size, perhaps marginally bigger. A few years back we had two painted turtles in the pond, one was more than twice the size of this one. At the same time we had a very large snapping turtle, a blanding's turtle, and a red-eared slider. That was definitely the year of the turtle.
