They see me rollin’, they hatin’. . Patrolling and tryin’ to catch me ridin’ dirty. . That tortoise sang that to me as we shared beers and tater tots. That was a weird day. . . . #redfootedtortoise #tortoise #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #herpsofinstagram #herps #reptileconservation #pantanal #brazil #wildlifephotography #naturelovers #naturephotography #ridingdirty (at Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3KGI7Xhbrv/?igshid=1okef3k148l3u

Happy #WorldTurtleDay! This is the time of year female turtles are moving to lay eggs. If you see one on the road, it is ok to help it cross safely but please don’t relocate the turtle. She know where she is going! Most of the time when you see a turtle in the wild, the best thing is to leave it alone. (Although if you see this one, please pick it up, take it home and finish carving it for me. I have been working on it for about four years 😁-ET) 📷 Allison Gergely #ReptileConservation #TurtleConservation #UnfinishedCarving (at Birds of Vermont Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd6F4uguxNy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
