Instead of sounding like a weenie and creating another post saying road rescue number 3, I figured I'd just update this one. Picked up another snapping turtle today. We experienced some heavy rains the other day, he was sitting in a large mud puddle on the side of the road. All three of these turtle's have come from the same location all within a hundred yards of each other on the same stretch of road. There's two large gravel pits that they have converted into man-made lakes with a bunch of fancy houses around them. They seem to keep crossing the road to get from one body of water to the other. I ended up putting this guy in the extended cab of my truck and brought him to a private pond that I know of. It doesn't get hardly any people visiting it, and the roads are gravel and don't receive a lot of traffic. I just wanted to know if I get another snapping turtle, am I better off releasing it in it's home body of water? The road I got him off of is very heavily traveled, I also feared some of the residents of that lake might possibly do him harm because he's a snapping turtle and he does what snapping turtles do. Anywho here's a couple pics of him, not the greatest the sun was bearing down on us.

While we wish we could have watched that bit of theatre. "Hey Jay, can you still count to ten"?

Thank you, I wish I could get to more of them. We see more squished along that strip of road then we save.

I can imagine, it really seems to bring them out in droves.
