Mississippi Map Turtle Exhibit Mascot
Our Mississippi Map Turtle dwells in the sales department, which he rules with an iron fist, and is constantly following up on all the exhibitors and making sure they are happy with their final trade show product. Kevin has been a part of Catalyst for over a year. He lives with his friend JR. who will hang around Kevin’s rock waiting for him to come out and play.
The Mississippi Map Turtle can best be identified by the crescent shaped light spot behind the eye that prevents the neck stripes from reaching the eye. The skin of the turtle is olive to brown and is marked with many narrow yellow stripes along the legs, tail, chin and neck.
Curiosity on whether or not Kevin is a male or female, well, there is turtle genitalia on the website, figure it out for yourselves it was pretty disgusting, and we are pretty sure he is actually a she.
Kevin likes very clean water and gets depressed when its not, he enjoys his quiet surroundings and gets a bit nervous when he hears all the potty mouth coming out of Nancy & Deb’s office. But given the quiet and soothing voice of his care taker, Lauren, he calms down fairly quickly. Kevin seems to be enjoying the recent addition to his diet, lettuce, as he waits patiently for feeding time, which these days, is pretty often.I sat with Kevin for a spell at his ranch, and he speaks very highly of the entire Catalyst Staff, when I asked what his dreams where, he said, he truly would like a partner, someone he can lounge with and swim under his waterfall when the lights go out at closing time.
