This is the third "turtle sighting" in our yard in three years. We live across the street from a creek, and I guess that is where these guys are coming from, along with the possums, snakes, etc. I live in a residential subdivision!
The first one was bigger than a frisbee, according to my neighbor, who found it in my backyard. I was away for the day, and she said my dogs, Honey and Lilly, were barking hysterically. Two of my neighbors came over to investigate, and there was a huge turtle trying to get past the fence in the backyard. She said my dogs were two afraid to touch it, but were having a stroke over it! They put it on a frisbee to carry it, and let it go outside of the fence. We'll never know how it got in to start with! The next ones were in the front yard, one last summer, and the one you saw in the picture. They were almost identical in looks and size. I'm going to check out that link you posted. Thanks!
