Woah! An Original Character I created for Rottmnt??? Nooowayyyyy!!

Her name is Beth. She was to be one of Baron Draxums experiments, to be mutated into a warrior like the other 4. But sense she was a female, Baron Draxum did not think she would ever be strong enough to be a warrior, even potentially after mutation. So he left the little turtle for other experiments. But when the lab exploded some of the ooz landed on Beth, mutating her into a child-like creature. She has lived alone and scavenged for 14 years.

This is her species photo! Bog Turtle!

Isn't it so CUTE!?? 😍 And its eyes are so big!!!

@catboybiologist LITTLE GUY

Meet one of the planet’s smallest turtles: the bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii)! This petite reptile grows up to 4.5 in (11.4 cm) long. It’s easily identifiable by the orange patches on either side of its head.

The bog turtle has an impressive lifespan, with the oldest documented individual reaching an age of 61! Unfortunately, this species is critically endangered due in part to poaching and habitat loss as a result of human expansion.

Okay, my time has come.

I've run through the list of North American turtle species and I think the Bog Turtle is the closest match. They have this single orange blob mark where Leo would have his red one.

Fun fact: the Bog Turtle is the state reptile of New Jersey lmao

And there's the Spotted Turtle. I've seen some people suggesting that too. Their patterns look a lot like Box Turtles', specially Ornate Box Turtles' (Mikey's species), and people have also been saying that her design looks like Mikey's sooo...

If she turns out to be a Spotted Turtle, I'll excuse her big glossy lips and eyelashes.

I know the boys are all turtle species native to the USA, and not land turtles either, but also if anyone here is Brazillian and wants to go wild with headcanons, she could be a jabuti :]

THEY'RE SO CUTE!!!

My job here is done. Here's if you want to see the Mutant Mayhem turtles' species too

#i had like six jabutis when i was a little kid #well technically my /grandma/ had them but they were mine whenever i came over #they're my favorite animal #anyways.

different anon, and feel free to ignore if this is in bad taste, but are big turtles monogamous?

Bog turtles are notoriously elusive but we can pretty safely assume based on general behavior that they are not monogamous- as that’s not a super common reproductive strat in the order testudines.

But if you count storing and reusing sperm as monogamy then there is definitely some representation among the turtles!
