Photo Gallery :: Pool Rescue

[Diamondbacks4Life]

My Neighbor has an inground pool and every year a couple of these little guys find their way into it. So yesterday I had to go and get them. Sorry they arent the greatest pics. Camera doesnt work so great in really bright sun. Really neat was the bigger one. He has a very nice orange look to him. First time ive seen a yearling like him. Second time ive seen a wild snapping turtle with a very nice orange variation. Other one was a 7inch snapping turtle with a nice redish shell.

I look at these guys and think Enzio the sponge turtle from the manga Reborn!

Nope those are just common snapping turtle hatchlings. Common snapping turtles start out with very jagged look to their shell that turns smooth by adult.

I will be adding another pic soon. Got another turtle. This time not a snapping turtle

oh so they grow the spikes on there tails later on? If im correct the normals have spikey tails and the alligators have spikey shells didnt know it was opposite when they were babies.
