@NanoSnax Actually, the first thing SHE saw was the guy who, as part of a conservation endeavour, protected her and her clutch mates from predators by installing a concealed nest cage (and yes, I had a camera...).
@TheTurtlelover09 That's a messed up situation; no wonder they grow up shy, angry and snap at everything. Lack of a parent gives them self esteem issues.
I've got those guys all over the place in my lake (Ski Lake in Alabama) I lie on my pier, and watch them catch fish in the shallows for hours.
They're shy of people, but have bad eyesight. I;'ve been floating on a raft, when one would check me out, (see if I was hiding baby fish, I guess) then swim off!
first thing he sees a guy with a camera wtf???

So sad the mother left him there. How is it going to nurse?

@DTM1864 turtles dont nurse, the mothers leave them and they have to find food on their own

Why does it look like it was born on a SW beach?
These are FW animals, though they do frequent brackish water.
