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. -- TeaLady (mari) "The principle of Race is meant to embody and express the utter negation of human freedom, the denial of equal rights, a challenge in the face of mankind."

No pics of egg laying, at least not that she sent me, but several good shots of a ginormous snapper. If anyone has a need, I can send them a 20-minute video of a box turtle digging a hole to lay her eggs in. After 20 minutes, I realized this could end up taking a long time, and I was covered with mosquito bites, so I decided to call it a night. I came out the next day and there was no trace of any egg-laying activity there. If I hadn't taken some close-up pics of the spot whilte the turtle was there, I wouldn't even have been able to find the spot. I don't know if the eggs ever hatched. A few years earlier, I came across a box turtle (maybe the same one?) at another spot nearby laying eggs, but those had been dug up and presumably eaten by the next morning. If I ever get the time, I'll probably make an animated GIF of this video. |
