Snapping Turtle road crossing

Ive loved reptiles since I was very young. At certain times of the year they often become roadkill and I'm always happy to help them out when I get the chance.

that was mighty nice of you, I think most of us garbage men and women have a soft spot for nature.

For me personally,as a garbage man,seeing the dirty industrial side of human society every day makes me appreciate the beauty of nature all the more. As I witness the rapid expansion of concrete and asphalt overtake the surrounding areas I wish to see this done in a more responsible and respectfull manner. In the name of the dollar we callously bulldoze nature into the ground with little thought to the consequences.

To me, this turtle, with its small one track brain, is just as worthy of its place here as any of us.If someone wants to eat it, fine, that doesnt bother me, but they shouldnt be pushed to the brink of extinction by thoughtless destruction of habitat.

I used to have a baby snapping turtle and now I have two small painter turtles. I'm glad you were decent enough to move him off the road!

I had a baby snapper when I was younger,it was a cool little turtle. Ive always loved reptiles, turtles and snakes in particular. My parents had to put up with me bringing them home all the time when i was a kid lol (dad was scared of snakes haha).

Eric your a man with a heart.I bet when you were little you had a turtle as a pet.I love all animals.I see little cats that have been run over and sorry assholes just leave them there.I wish there was a law that if you hit an animal even by accident you must move it to the side of the road.And try to contact the owner atleast knock on a door or 2.I have seen a man do that before its only deasant thing to do.Turtles can live to 100 or more years.I think sea Turtles are some neat little fellows.

Ive had many a pet turtle over the years, even some of these kind.There is a video here on YT from an episode of Dirty Jobs that has a huge 150 pound Alligator Snapping turtle (the kind in this video are Common Snapping turtles) that is estimated to be 150 years old, supposedly they have found them still alive with Civil War era musket balls lodged in them. Amazing creatures, nearly unchanged for millions of years because their design has always worked so well.
