A local monster from our very own lake | Thread profile

Here's the prints: Let me throw in a little reminder here-This monster first of all has to get out of the lake, cross over our neighbors yard, go across the road, and either come up the our hill (of which I've showed picts of before) or come up our driveway into our yard. Here's the hole we found: This is the culprit: This last one-is the snapping turtle ...

yummm.turtle sauce picant`.........hahaha just a thought .

That turtle looks like it means business! And it looks quite large.

Big turtle! I'd probably be scared if I ever came across a really big one. Fingers crossed for those turtle eggs. Turtle babies are sweet.

oooh snappers are a grumpy bunch! I'm glad the fence kept her away from Buddy!

That is a fair size lady and she could take a finger off real easy.Buddy sure needed that fence up other wise he might get a big permanent ornament hanging from him.I would love to see the babies you uncover.

I hope Buddy didn't get his nose or toes to near that turtles mouth!!! I wonder if all the babies will manage to hatch out, with your help, and return to the lake to have babies of their own in time? I look forward to piccies of the babies if they do appear.

I'm going to keep a close eye on that hole. We also found a few diggings in our front yard I'm keeping an eye on. We had some company come in and they seen a painted turtle on the side of the drive laying eggs. I'll be looking out for that one as well.

We have an occasional turtle visitor from the ditch behind our home. I have not seen holes, but the beach near us watched and protects turtles. They are "stars" here on the coast. Hope to see your babies. Gardengater

Wow, what a cool garden guest! Looking forward to seeing more pictures.
