Thought of another turtle rescue that I participated in....
or un-rescue....you
make the call.
Last summer dd comes running in the house looking for her hermit crab cage. Tells me...."momma, Trace
found a turtle (wonder if the turtle knew he was
lost? ) and dad says I can keep it." So I am expecting one those little green turtles that they used to sell when we were kids....look at him....he's about 2 inches round (for a minute there almost needed to remember how to do the circumference of a circle)...yep, he's a turtle...a baby
snapping turtle.

Told dd..."ya can't keep a snapping turtle for pete's sake..in six months he'll take your finger off"

After being exhibited on the pet display circuit here in the neighborhood....we released the,
not really lost turtle, back in the river....
