Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Myrtle is an adult female Ornate Wood Turtle. They are semi aquatic but are forest type turtles. They are a subspecies of the Painted Turtle. Myrtle was dumped into a casino pond and almost drowned. This type of turlte needs access to water but lives mostly on land. They need shady areas to hide. She is missing her back toes but is very tame, will come right out at feeding time and was obviously someone's pet! Can you please see it in your heart to give Myrtle a good home? Thank you for your interest!
