I think I recognize the lake - it looks familiar. And by the way I had a painted turtle as a kid. Have you run into any snapping turtles yet? There used to be lots of them around too, north up the highway. And some were really big - heads on them bigger than your fist and a neck the size of your wrist. If you ever got your fingers in the way, it would be instant amputation with no sedation. But we still lifted them up carefully and checked their weight, and took them off the middle of the road.
Would you believe this girl chose my front yard to lay her eggs Not sure how these little ones are gonna find their way to the lake. The snappers eggs take 80-90 days to hatch so I guess I'll be on baby watch for quite some time
