I don't know what TurtleGraphics are, but you should update the x and y values of the image inside the run() method.

How much about threading do you know? Are you using Swing graphics? This is important because the Swing GUI runs under one thread, and many Swing methods have to be called in a thread-safe way if you are going to be playing with threads here.

Then I would start with a textbook, or lacking that, look [url= http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/index.html]here[/url].

Turtle's have small tails and usually tuck it under their shell making it very difficult. I suggest one of the back legs instead.
