the slow guardian of our rivers
The Reeve's Turtle, a native species that has lived in our rivers and rice paddies for generations,
loves basking in the warm sunlight on clear rivers and ponds.
Its sturdy carapace, with three raised ridges, and the dark brown patterns on its plastron are its most charming features.
These smart little friends change their diet as they grow!
