NiteRunner Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Isn't this just the coolest thing? A Baby Snapping Turtle! I was walking back from checking the trail cam and glanced down and saw this blob of dirt that looked out of place. I stopped and took a better look and it was this little Snapper. I was ecstatic! I've never seen one so tiny. Had several adults walking around the fields this year, but this is the first little one I've ever found.

woolybear Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Cute little bugger for now, wait till he grows up into a big ol' mossy back. Cool pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Don't care for them at all for the reasons Matt said. Have had too many on the end of a trot line hook to deal with. :pacman: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 yup that is pretty cool! So is it now your pet......:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteRunner Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I don't fish, so I've never had a problem with them yet... No I didn't make it a pet, it was tempting though! My dogs hate turtles so I don't think it would have lived too long in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I miss seeing those turtles. I used to catch a lot of them (big and small) when I was young and living in Ontario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
