My snapping turtle

[yayfish24]

Just a few pics of my baby snapper. I dont know if its a male or female yet but im just playing along that its a female. My sister found her early this summer while feeding the ducks at a pond near her house. What do you guys think? I know the pics suck. All I have to take them with is my blackberry.

Always hated people taking animals fromt he wild.

Who cares,
Snappers are mellow unless bugged

looks like a female judging on the last pic. If you can get more pictures of its tail and belly, I will be able to tell you for sure.

Tonight when I get home ill get a pic of her underside and tail. Im thinking by next summer im gonna need to build her a nice pond out of a kiddy pool with a small sump on it. These guys grow fast and eat anything I put in there.

Just about every "pet" you see was at some time taken from the wild. Some species of animals would be extinct by now if it wasnt for us bringing them into captivity to try to replenish the population.
