Love the title! And the expression on that turtle face. I think you were meant to go about your business and leave this fellow to his. But I'm glad you trangressed long enough to take this picture.
Love the turtle, he's got great colour and sure doesn't want to been seen by so many lol. Your title sure suits the capture. Oh yes they sure can hiss, my turtle when she didn't want to be bothered she would hiss at me. You can tell the sex of a turtle by the colour of the eyes, what colour were they?
So that's where the "Turtle Wax" name came from...I never knew!
Their heads remind me so much of snakes that it doesn't surprise me that they hiss. This guy should have been giving you a tip for this great portrait !! You made him look well polished :)
