It is some kind of helpless feeling seeing that happen and five minutes later everything being destroyed or at least set back immensely. I’m just glad it was not worse I guess and have learned on this site actually how to get back on that horse as my grandaddy said when it bucked me off…
hope your day is good Pute and you get some sunshine to dry that mud up 🙂

Better the garden than the house or vehicle. Mamma Nature gives, Mamma Nature takes. Nothing we can do about it other than roll with the punches.

Turtles have been making their way in my backyard lately. Maryjane quickly lets me know about it when she finds them. I usually go pick it up and put it on the other side of the back fence gate near the lake tributary in the woods so they will be safe. They are usually pretty yellow box turtles but lately a big flat water looking turtle I was afraid that it might be a snapping turtle but didn’t know how to tell. He was moving really fast for a turtle. I knocked on his shell and picked him up with no snapping thank god. He was about a foot long and 10” in diameter. Should I have tested with a stick to see if he would bite first? How do I know if it’s a snapping turtle and if it is, will it bite me for moving it out of the yard? I tried to hold it from as far back as I could in case he reached his long neck out to bite me…
haha I’m stoned. Please help me 🤪

Snappers look like a dinosaur. Do not pick one up. even by the rear end they can bite the pooo out of you and usually dont let go. Their neck will shoot out quick like a striking snake.

Might be a leatherback. Low slung, soft shell, and a really long neck with a pointy nose.

Alligator snapper. Got spikes on their shell. Either one will promptly remove a finger for ya.

And if finger doesnt snap off, you will have a new finger ornament. Those pics are huge examples, they come in regular size too, I guess young ones. They bite like crazy too.
 
All turtles kinda have that Dino look to me. This one had a slick shell and appeared to be more of a water type turtle. I live right on the lake and I’m sure it wondered in from under the back fence. I just try to save them from my dogs. I guess a box would be a better way to move the ones I’m unsure about. This one was quite large. I think a 5 gallon bucket would have been small for him/her
 
The Old Hen and I are off to the homecoming carnival for some corndogs, greasy fries, and if she's a good girl, maybe an elephant ear.

I'm getting faster in my old age. I remember as a kid, it took at least an hour to walk through the entire thing. Now I can do it in 15 minutes or so.

You kids play nice. 🤪

Like Hippie said, they have a wicked ridge down their back. Make sure you can back away quick and poke a long stick at it. LONG stick. a snapper will go for it. I assume regular turtles can bite too? Yours sounds like regular type, soft smooth back.

Been up since 5.....fishing. Way to many people.....boat ramp was like rush hour in NY City. Back home safe.
 
Told the Old Hen we'd wind up dropping fifty bucks out there in a half hour. Ten bucks for enough tickets for us to ride the Ferris wheel, 39 bucks for four corndogs, a side of greasy fries, a small coke, and a five pack of elephant toes, and she left a buck for a tip. Fifty on the nose. Corndogs and fries where the bomb. I missed nasty old carnival food. I'm good 'til next year now.
