Our two newest additions to the nature center are Rocky, the little yellow-bellied slider on the left, and Rover, a red-eared slider who found a nice "rock" to bask on....Rex the red-bellied turtle! This time of year many turtles are found in parking lots and crossing roads. It's best to leave them alone as long they can cross safely. If not, you could take them across the road, in the direction they were heading, and put them down. NEVER put them in water, because some tortoises look like turtles, yet they cannot swim! Water turtles will be fine out of water.
