These book might be right up your alley Lissa...I have versions of these for Ontario. Great to keep in you glove compartment, tackle box. I love them, when I find a new "whatever" I absolutely need to know what it is. Especially if it's amphibian, turtle frog or lizard The Amphibians & Reptiles of Wisconsin - WDNR | ||

I'm a bit worried about the bacteria. So we'll probably only keep him for a couple days and put him back in the marsh. I think it's a painted turtle for sure now.

Mindy might have more info for you, she's really into turtles. I think it's wonderful that you are returning it to it's home in the wild, it may die in captivity, most of the ones you buy at pet stores are raised from babies in captivity. What I am thinking of doing is buiding a nice pond in my backyard, and relocating some turtles and frogs etc. | ||

OK wait ... just because its a reptile does NOT mean your gonna get sick. There are cases... yes... but my "collection" .. if you will, over the years have included snakes up to 10', lizards up to 5', Caymen (crocodile family) and a lake not far from here actually doesnt allow power boats because its so loaded with painted turtles ... Do you lick your fingers after petting the dog? scratching your ass? .. take precautions and wash ... thats all. | ||
