This Painted Wood Turtle was a pretty sweet find… especially because I found two of them. They are absolutely beautiful and, according to Savage (the gigantic herp book for Costa Rica), they are commonly kept as pets. I was seriously tempted to do so, since I haven’t had much turtle interaction in a while. I think the sole reason I didn’t was because I don’t have a tank or other container… maybe I could just let it wander around in my bedroom.
Did you stack them like that? Or is that how they sleep?
They were mating.
It’s the Costa Rican version of Barzini and Monstrego!…except this Barzini certainly isn’t a prude.
Yeah! I wonder if Barzini is laying eggs?
Yeah, I was joking.
I am too.
