One of my favorite turtle specie.
Have you ever seen the alligator snapping turtle use its lure?
Yes,every now and then I'll catch him lying on the bottom with it's mouth wide open.It was actually doing it there in the photos,trying to lure the fish out of the log.

Yeah I noticed after looking at pic again.
 
My Daughter called me and saw this walking on the driveway. Looks like a large common snapper to me. It wedge it self between a shrub next to the garage. What should I do to help it?

Does it look like you can dislodge it? I wouldn’t try sticking my hand near it’s head, but a snow shovel could work to lift it.

I didn't see it when I got home tonight. Hopefully it found a pond. I was thinking about taking it near the small lake near me.
