Murtle Box Turtle

Murtle on Patio Murtle's head

Murtle is another box turtle. Like Carny, she is very curious. She is particularly fond of the water and seems to be the least timid of the box turtles. I can actually pet her on the head without having her withdraw into her shell. You can usually see her wandering around her box or in the water dish. She has much brighter orange/red coloration on her skin and shell than Carny. The carrots I feed them help to maintain these pigments in her skin.
