I found this turtle digging her hole right beside the path. Several people had walked
right by not noticing her. She looks like a Red-eared Slider but has she mated with
a painted turtle ? ID by other pbase members say it's a Red-eared.



After half an hour she began laying her eggs.



She was a large Red-eared- her shell was about 10"(35cm) long.
