Was driving from the POS townhouse we are renting up to the new house we just bought and saw this bloke waltzing along the side of the road so I stopped and got a few shots then moved him away from the road and pointed toward the creek I am sure he had vacated not long before

Holy cow.....We use to see those in the creeks growing up in Virginia and they absolutely would scare the crap out of us. Great pics.

Nice find Travis! Glad to see him helped from being roadkill.

He was saying just a little closer with that camera. lol
Nice save...:cheers:

that is a nice looking common snapper! good find!

Cute lil bugger. If you're it's mamma :D

Nice set of pics. Thats pretty brave to pick him up.

Thats really cool, I never get tired of seeing the snappers!

we have seen a lot of these on the raid this spring...i love them . they will get you if they can . last one we stopped to get pix of and move off the road....a man stopped beside us in his truck and asked if we were going to eat the thing...i believe if we hadnt been there first this guy would have had him for supper...

Good save! I love snapper turtles.....
