I found a larger version of the same turtle in the swimming pool a few months back.
Drove it about four miles to a small lake.
Last time I seen it it was making its way into the vegetation along the water's rim.
I did too; he had about a 14 inch neck.
I found him Upstate NY; he was standing on double
yellow lines,
apparently waiting for traffic to clear.
I parked, and picked him up by the back of his shell.
He tried to bite me, but his neck was not long enuf.
I carried him to the side of the road and released him in
a wet irrigation ditch, next to a farmer 's wet field.
