I need a minute.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, we have red-eared sliders here in the neighborhood and I act as crossing guard when I come across one. <BR/>Geoff got stopped by a massive snapping turtle down on Loveland-Miamiville Road the other day. He was encouraged that other cars were slowing down to go around the big gal, because you know we have yahoos around here who would think nothing of running over one just for the heck of it.Susan Gets Nativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216170589750418861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-61217179162464990692008-06-13T10:42:00.000-04:002008-06-13T10:42:00.000-04:00I had a red-ear as a kid; his name was Felix, and ...I had a red-ear as a kid; his name was Felix, and after only a few days with me, he ran away. I know it sounds silly to think of a slow little turtle running away, but I went to dinner and when I came back, he was gone. I looked all around the yard but never found him. *sigh*dguzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811101661607351661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-22198935214429143642008-06-12T08:37:00.000-04:002008-06-12T08:37:00.000-04:00What a great find..

They were in all the pet shops, but I think they were outlawed for transmitting salmonella, or something like that.<BR/><BR/>I also moved a snapper off a road here in MA during last Sunday's bike ride. I always move them in the direction they're headed, hoping they won't just turn around and head back to the traffic.MojoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283343683800473324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-8878929968900933792008-06-11T09:05:00.000-04:002008-06-11T09:05:00.000-04:00Great post!

Maybe it is just that I don't want to remember. They are in about every little pond around here. I love to see them sunning on logs. One of the first signs of spring for me. It is great that it wandered onto your property.<BR/><BR/>I rescued a snapper crossing a busy road just the other day. Eveyrone was afraid to move it as it was a good sized one. Several cars were slowed and/or stopped for it. I scoooped it up and helped it across the street much to its chagrin. It was lashing out and living up to its name the whole time I had it in my hands which wasn't long. Ha...Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.com
