I was working over by my mango tree yesterday and came across these two. I've had turtles living in my year for several years although I don't usually see them together. They're Florida box turtles and their life span can exceed 100 years!! Their population in the wild is decreasing rapidly and it’s recommended that you don’t take them captive. These two were eating small mangos that had fallen to the ground. I rescued two of these guys from my pool skimmer -- one this year and one last year (hope it wasn't the same one, LOL)!! Those poor fellows -- who knows how long they had to swim to stay afloat before I saved them! I always enjoy encountering them when I'm working in the yard.
