The Ornate Diamondback Terrapin is an eye-catching turtle found in coastal marshes and is the only turtle in the U.S. adapted to live in brackish water. Known for the patterned markings on its shell and skin, it can be found in tidal creeks and along marsh edges but is very cryptic and hard to spot. They feed on snails, crabs, and other small prey. In the Florida Panhandle, there is still much to learn about their nesting habits, population size, and environmental pressures, making monitoring efforts especially important. We’re excited to be volunteering with the Panhandle Terrapin Project, led by Florida Sea Grant, to help survey for Diamondback Terrapins in our area! @floridaseagrant #wildlifewednesday #diamondbackterrapin
