You might be interested in the North American Herpetological Education and Research Project (H.E.R.P.) online at http://www.naherp.com. You can see what other turtles have been sighted in your area, and you can even contribute if you want. It could be a great educational opportunity for you and your son.

Every morning when we take our puppy dogs for their nature walk , we keep our eyes peeled for frogs, newts, and mabey turtles. But your so lucky!!! I only ever caught one baby slider turtle during my childhood, and haven't seen a single specimen since.

Thank you for sharing! I just feels good to know that there are still turtles in the wild still living their good lives. ? :<3::tort::<3:
