Herpetofauna - One Life's List Eastern
Mud Turtle Okefenokee Swamp, Georgia. March 1978 |
|
We were using a dip net to catch sirens in a roadside ditch near the Okefenokee one night, and managed to catch several Eastern Mud Turtles in the process. It wasn't until twenty years later that I was able to take a picture of one, found crossing a road in Jasper Co., South Carolina. We had several road encounters with Eastern Muds - apparently they wander away from water a bit more than most Mud or Musk Turtles. They don't smell quite as bad as Stinkpots do, but then again not much does! | |
