(Danielle asked me if she could pick out a picture of the turtle and write a couple things for me to post. So, basically, this is Danielle's post.)

Snappy IS cute! So is Snappy staying? I saw Ron's FB status and wasn't sure...
Nice post, Danielle! Does Snappy have a painted belly? Why is he a "painted" turtle?
Leah - yes he's staying, at least for awhile.
Mom - I'll relay your comment to Danielle and post her reply tomorrow night.
Here is Danielle's response:
It's called a painted turtle because the shell has reddish-orange marks on its shell that looks like paint.
She asked me to post another picture that better shows the underside of his shell, so I added that to this post. The dark spot on his belly is his equivalent of a belly button. I think it will eventually disappear.
Thank you, Danielle. I can see how it got it's name.
