Chelydra Serpentina

My husband, Dave, rescued this snapping turtle from the road and brought it home for a picture before returning it to the swamp. It was NOT pleased.

He's acting rather ungrateful for having been saved :)

I agree! Tried to take my husband's hand off! 😁

Cool picture.

Agree on his ungratefulness but I wouldn't be pleased as well if my savior held me over by the tail, lol

@agedrunner @domenicododaro Ha ha ha! I told him to hold it "properly" by the back of the shell, but he said it fought like a wildcat. Those claws are pretty impressive, too! :)

Excellent!

@jamibann Thanks, Issi! :)
