Yesterday I was in my Man Cave which is on the ground level and I heard people calling my name. I went outside and there was this big turtle walking across the driveway. I said Wow, that's the biggest box turtle I ever saw. Then I got closer and saw that it was a snapping turtle which normally stay in the water. The thing was about two feet long.
I ran after him (yes, at my age it's not even easy to run as fast as a water turtle) and I grabbed his tail. I used to keep those turtles and know you can only grab them by their tail, if you want to keep your fingers.
He was probably 10lbs and I carried him to a small pond near here but I had to hold him far from my leg because he kept trying to eat it.
That pond is only about 6" deep and dries up if it doesn't rain for a week so I am sure he will be back. I just hope he doesn't make it to my bed.
I couldn't get a picture because it just wasn't prudent at the time.
Love them wildlife
That's quite a "backyard" collection.
