i like turtles. But, i have not liked the idea of having them in my ponds. i'm sure there is some ignorance here. my friend premster says they are "terrible predators", but still, bad enough to have "the blue bird" and the mink.
so, saw the turtle in the driveway. called Fred who has always volunteered to rehome turtles for me. he said, "does it have a shiny green shell?" I said, "Yes! how did you know?" "painters are breeding now. it's a good turtle." "good for what?" "it only eats bugs." okay. fred says, "Don't let it bury its eggs in the driveway. pick it up by the tail and relocate it to the garden." okay.
