Default Bitten by Snakes or Snapping Turtles while Swimming?

Several years ago, I came upon a rather large snapper
taking a lazy stroll across our street and decided I should
help him get to the other side before a driver less
cautious than myself nailed him. It was a fairly easy
process. I just waved a stick in front of his face, and
then used the stick to drag him to safety. The neighbors
still wonder why they never see me swimming in the lake.


A few years back a snapper took a shine to the property where my
sis works. I was telling her of this tale, and she emailed me a
few pics of this great beast. It was a she, and per sis, laid
eggs on the property, and the later hatchlings were adored by
all before being relocated to an unnamed location.

I can email the pics, if anyone is interested, or y'all can wait
until I get my picture thing up and running. No pics of egg
laying, at least not that she sent me, but several good shots of
a ginormous snapper.
