The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.

Cooter? (No, it's not but the title is fun.)

I think this is a Baby Eastern Mud Turtle (Kinosternon Subrubrum), but I am not sure. Anyone knowledgeable about these things?

Or perhaps a Florida Mud Turtle...

Edit: Sorry for the crappy shots, I don't have a high res camera to use.

Edit Edit: Title change and an explanation that we found it walking across our warehouse floor. We have no idea how an aquatic turtle got into an enclosed concrete structure not near any water.

...and when you are done with that; take a folding
chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.

    That's definitely not a cooter.

    I'm torn between "I want one so" and "I wonder what kind of vending machine would accept that"

    Also, do you have any local wildlife rehabilitation centers around you? They could maybe ID it from a clear picture, or you could take it there if you were worried you wouldn't be able to raise it (it looks very young, and times like these are usually tricky since I believe they're pretty susceptible to disease and such)

    Yes, I found some better pictures while I was making the first post and I changed the name to what I now think it is, but the title I felt I should keep.

    Found online:
