AAA turtles, terrapins and tortoises.

Here is my AAA Notched Turtle, CHELYDRA SERPENTINA (a close relative to the Alligator Snapping Turtle). I posted it here because I saw it was missing on TAI. I also have AAA Reeves Turtle and AAA Sea Turtle, but I didn't photograph them, being already on TAI.

AAA have excellent reptiles, I think. I added it on Toy Animal Wiki but now I doubt other two AAA turtles previously entered are also common snapping turtles. Thanks Valerie!

Nice, but very huge :)

I adore the turtles from AAA

Especially the old ones like the one you show. I have a couple more, and will take pictures as soon as possible.

Last week I took a picture of this newer one

But stupid me, I did it again ! Some friends came to visit, so I quickly packed everything away, and now Turtle is hiding somewhere
This means I can't see what species he is, - but perhaps somebody knows ?

Perhaps Turtle has a good reason to hide !
I was trying to search the net, but many of the pictures literarily make me sick, - ohhh, the cruel, horrible way many people treat turtles

Well, first, by looking at its legs, we know it's a TORTOISE; not a terrapin, and certainly not a sea turtle. That's a start.

Yes, and Susanne called the image file sun turtle, that is the other common name of painted turtle Chrysemys picta , that is a terrapin. I can't also recognize it.

Looks a bit like an American Box Turtle-or tortoise as we would can it in Europe

That's a possiblility indeed...

Hurraaayyy !!!

It says "STAR TORTOISE" on his belly

It is certainly hard to guess, - but that is obviously the intention

Great pictures Susanne. We have always to take in consideration that AAA is a OEM company. So, other companies buy their figures to sold under their own brand names and they can even choose randomly a tortoise and ask AAA to paint it pink with yellow strips. Surely, that tortoise, that seems a good mold to a star tortoise, was not painted to represent an Indian star tortoise. It will be hard to guess what it is. The funny thing is that I've seen from another collection, a tortoise with the same painting.

Oh! And since I noticed it was still missing on TAI, here is my AAA Sea Turtle. I believe it represents a Chelonia mydas.

Valerie, your green sea turtle is now on TAI!

It's not huge: how big do you think the Canadian dollar coin is? The coin is less than 3cm wide. So, the terrapin is not huge...

Nice again :)

At long last I got myself kicked into taking some pictures of my beloved AAA turtles ...

I have the Brown version of the Reeves Turtle...

Your collection of AAA turtles is just precious, Susanne! Great pics too!

She has a lot more than I do...

Thankyou, - I just love AAA turtles

Great

Need again help with species, are these two darker ones hawkbill sea turtles?
... and these lovely family of tortoises, is anyone able of identifying it to the species level? Thanks!

Yes ! That could be very interesting to know , - it does not say on the models

I know it's not necessary anymore, but here is my AAA Brown Reeves Turtle.

Next lovely figurine :)

I found several old AAA turtles at a flea market, but at $3 apiece I didn't get them... is that reasonable? I remember there was the adult tortoise from Susanne's family catalogue picture, I think the Notched Turtle, and a couple others I don't remember well enough to guess.
