Baby snapping turtle saved!

Posted by WadeFulp - June 7th, 2008


Well, not sure if snapping turtles are really worth saving, but it was just a "cute" little baby! I saw it crawling onto my town's bicycle / walking path and figured if I left him there he'd get squished or stomped, etc. So I picked it up and carried it nearly a mile down the path and put him in an area that I thought would be safe for it, a little cove along the creek where there isn't a swift current to sweep him away. I plopped him on a little stick at the edge of the water and continued my stroll with the kids. I was pushing the kids in their stroller.

Should've kept him.... made him big.... got him in shell fights and got arrested... michael vick style.

He's little guy isn't he!

How come they don't have turtles down my road.

I hope you banned him for trolling the path. You aren't going soft on us, are you wade?

creepy little thing

its cute and repulsive... waw... ok i would've saved it to but still... its a weird little monster i'll say...

Well, that's what i would do... before you released him, first you took his picture?
nice

Hey... are you toms retarted brother?

You get a medal?

OH SNAPPING TURTLE!

It rains turtles down here, we have them everywhere!

But it's sooooo cute. :-)

Tell them to come up here, we need more. :)

Why weren't you at ComiCon? It would've been great to see you and talk to you if I actually went but that's besides the point. You were probably saving the world from the hands of Snapping turtle killing Portal Nazis huh?

COOL. DID IT BITE YOU??

and then you ate it...RIIIIGHT?

Cool! There was a decent-sized turtle in our driveway not too long ago. I got to pick it up and move it someplace else =)

Awh....

Turtles actually make good pets.

Though lacking in emotion...they out-live your dogs or cats.

In Japan and Hawaii...there's something philosophical about them.

The turtle way, though he may move slow...he's trying with all his might!

Work Well
Eat Well
Play Well
Sleep Well

That is the turtle way.

Slow and Steady, but with all your focus and might.

Aww! He's a cute little turtle. ^_^

Just about a month ago I saved a turtle. It was some sort of boxing turtle. My little brother plays T-Ball, and he had a game, so off we went.

Well, I play sofball, so I brought my glove and ball so I could toss with my dad.
As we were tossing, I missed the ball on one of his throws, and I went to go get it.
In one of the dugouts, I saw a rather large turtle shell.
So, I picked him up, and layed him on the grass. Finally, after a few minutes, he was walking around, with me close behind it, with a bunch of little kids spazzing out about it.

Then, about 25 minutes later, it started to rain. My brother's game was canceled early, so I asked my parents if we could take the turtle in the car, and then release it in the nature trail near our house. (He had clawed feet, so he was a land turtle,)
They said yes, so the whole car ride, I sat next to a turtle.
We got to the nature trail, walked through it until we found a nice spot, and released him.
I named him Shellby. XD

That was a decent thing to do Wadey. I see a ton of turtles crossing paths when I'm out for a stroll, almost like they have a death wish.

weird, i saw a snapping turtle earlier today, it dug a hole in the grass next to my driveway i think yesterday, it was just sitting there and then left like 20 minutes
after i saw it.

Aw... it's adorable!

Why don't you reply to all comments? Also that is cute and why did you have a camera with you?

It's 2008. Who doesn't have a camera on them? Doesn't your phone have a camera? Also what father goes out with his kids and doesn't bring along a pocket digital camera? :)
