Female snapping turtle....she was laying eggs, but I couldn't get a good shot because I only had my phone and she was snapping at me!:

Wow, great looking turtle and capture. I'm wondering how large is it. I love turtles.

[Rosie Kerr]

No matter... this is very nice, with good details of her wrinkly face and neck. It's about as close as I would like to be!

@tonydebont Thank you, Tony!
@bsheppard Thanks Beth!
@anazad511 Thank you!! I'd say she was about 15 inches or so in length!
@rosiekerr Thanks! She was pretty scary! Especially when she hissed and snapped! Ha!!

[Kerri Michaels]

Cool Capture!!

[👑 AnaZad]

@cailts Ha, it looks as big as a Galapago.

[Clare]

@anazad511 haha! Not quite! But more aggressive, I think! :-D

[Julie Chapa]

Wow! Great capture! Fav.

[Tricia O'Donnell]

[Tammy]

Oh! I like this one even better! Love the focus on her face!

[Paula McLaughlin]

Great phone photo. Looks like you got really close despite the snapping!

[Graham Harcombe]

Super shot, she's working hard :-)

[Carole Imes]

Her "I'm a bit wary of you" expression is priceless. Fab shot of her details, and it turned out to be a "happy snapping" day for you, too!

[Lyn Berriman]

Fabulous image!

[Daisy]

Fantastic detail on her face

[Kathie]

Great shot. Don't mess with Momma

[HippieChick13]

[Mrs. Laloggie]

I would snap at you, too, if you tried to take my photo while I was laying eggs, however, this is a great photo! The textures on her face and arms is fascinating.
