While walking in the yard was surprised. Surprised I even noticed this teenie weenie tiny turtle. The turtle is the same color as the dirt around it. Came inside to grab my camera and take a picture of the wee one. Now when I walk outside I have my head on a swivel looking carefully for baby turtles so I don't step on any who maybe foraging.
And no, it didn't come from one of the two eggs buried earlier as I checked and the area was undisturbed.
EDIT: When I first looked at the turtle and it didn't have the pretty gold coloring wondered if it was a snapping turtle or was it from the family of Eastern Box Turtles in my yard. So did a google search and sadly didn't put the link in my original post since I thought it would be a given it was a pretty little thing and not a snapper. So to see what I learned about newborn Eastern Box Turtles you can see the birth and see them them HERE. When the video starts wait a couple seconds and click on "SKIP AD".
Happy Hooking.
