Lately, while feeding my little snappers, one of them have become aggressive. He snaps up at my hands, as I feed. This morning I went to clean them out. This same snapper did the thing where they arch their neck way back and then does a jerky leap, as I tried to pick him up. :( Didn't get me, but close.

They aren't cleaned off, but I thought Mike might like seeing them.

The demon child.

I LOVE snapping turtles! Aren't they just the cutest little things?

I only, as a rule, see ours when it's dark or just dawn. Most often as they hunt by sweeping down infront of my car.

I woke up to EIGHT Redfoot eggs. At least she was polite enough to lay indoors with easy access. They are warm and on moist moss, waiting for a friend to come pick them up and incubate them. She has a reptile shop and will sell the babies once I have pick of the litter. Snapchat-935522107.jpg
