Repkyle - Snapper sneak - 07

when i first spotted this guy I thought he was a 16 incher that I found last summer in that very spot. but after measuring him i saw he only had a 14'' shell, still big but not the guy i had expected.

i have found them 16 inches including its head and tail. and it was 8 inches across.

thats pretty sweet, but the way to accurately measure these guys is by just the length of the shell. since these guys can stretch and contract their necks it can kind of throw off your measurement if you include neck length.

do you ever step on eny turtle while your on your adventer finding another one?

[repkyle]

nope, cant say thats ever happened. i think i once stepped on a snapper that was walking on the bottom of a lake though.
