Aw, how cute. I used to try to keep large snappers I caught in Mass., when I was growing up. Always gave my grandmother fits because they manage to escape any enclosure you could make, even a steel fence buried a couple feet under. She'd find a huge snapper in her garden, next thing you know, we'd have turtle soup. That things an alligator snapper, makes our northeast version look harmless. I bet it will be able to eat through a steel fence in a couple months.

a big ass turtle wandered up from the bayou and ended up in the driveway the other night. i had to stick it in the recycling bin (lol) and take it back down there.

it looked like a ninja turtle with that band across its eyes hehe

I love turtles too. But not snappers,they will eat everything in our pond. We have some nice ones here in our state.Blevins,Painted and Box turtles. I saw on the news yesterday that they were digging up most of the sea turtle eggs down in the Gulf and move them to try and save them from the oil. If they hatch first they are going to try and catch as many as they can and relocate them. Poor turtles.
