Of all the critters a kid can carry home in their pockets, a baby red-eared slider comes with some of the most bragging rights.

Around here, all you need is water, and not much of it. A ditch, a bayou, a creek, or a pond with a log is bound to be covered in turtles soaking up the warm sun.

There’s a deep knowing in the slow and steady determination of a turtle bound for its destination. The kind of knowing that represents eons of hard-earned wisdom aimed at survival.

This piece is an homage to some of our favorite Louisiana turtles:

• The alligator snapping turtle – the one that comes with stories of legend for most of us
• The red-eared slider – the one many of us have carried home in a pocket
• The box turtle – the one most likely to visit you in your backyard
• The softshell turtle – the standout with its smooth, flat shell and long, pointed head
• The mud turtle – a shiny little potato-shaped friend
