I was holding that one in my left hand and took the pic with my phone in my right hand lol. You just have to know where and how to pick them up. Kind of like learning to hold a catfish lol. You only do it wrong once lol.

I thought painted and boxed were the same... Oh well...

Painted turtle is a species of water turtle. A turtle is primarily water based. The term box turtle is a common term used to describe a variety of terrapins that splits their time between dry ground and marshy areas, but terrains generally avoids water where it would have to swim like a turtle. A tortoise is land based and avoids water.
