This is the CLEANEST snapper I've ever scene. All of "ours" are perpetually mud-encrusted. Nice manicure too! #9402297Jack Gaskin May 13, 2011
LOVE EVERY THING TURTLE have been a bit obsessed w/them as long as I can remember ( 5 perhaps ).They are great diggers and a female has NO PROBLEM excavating a nest ... Great Close-up

Thanks everyone...Jack this was on the second turtle I foundValerie, LMAO yes it was alive, I had my zoom, and she was not a happy camper, she kept her eyes on me the whole time, I would walk around to get her tail; and she go right around with me....my husband walked in front so I could shoot her tail finally, she did snap her head and scared me a bit LOL, as I was laying on the pavement to be eye level with her
Have to take the advantages as they show up HAHAHAA
Have a super day everyone! #9403460
