There is, or was maybe, a large beaver population there in the years past. I wonder if that's how that thing got so fat...

Im only gonna kill it if it decides to make itself comfortable. We're in a battle with the wilderness out there, and I don't need no toe cutters complicating things. It can have the east side if it wants to keep livin.

Nice sized snapper. Some folks will eat that thing.

I used to see those huge alligator snappers in ponds when I lived in Barrow county. Now those are really dinosaurs. Take your toes off boot and all.

Thats what I read. No reportings of commons taking digits, but gators have for sure.

Nice old turtle. Got to respect animals that are able to survive that long. That reptile must be over 50yrs old, be a shame to kill it.

I thought they liked mud to lay their eggs in. Thats a pretty dry and compacted spot. Just doesn't seem ideal, but I'm not a toitle. Whenever I saw em as a kid it was always really muddy around, but the whole area was rather low. I swear I think that thing was just passing through. There's a million better spots than that. If that thing is that big, its old, which means its seen lots of activity in that area. Just guessin.

From the Wiki Page:
" Females travel over land to find sandy soil in which to lay their eggs, often some distance from the water. After digging a hole, the female typically deposits 25 to 80 eggs each year, guiding them into the nest with her hind feet and covering them with sand for incubation and protection. Incubation time is temperature-dependent, ranging from 9 to 18 weeks."
