Emilie and I released our two snapping turtles into a nice, secluded pond that is set back a good distance from the roadway. Hopefully these dudes will have learned their lesson and steer clean of the street. They might not be so luck the next time.
The smaller one we've had for two years and kept him indoors all last winter. The larger one I saved from surely being road kill on Rt.109 back in the Spring. As far as turtles goes they were fun to watch when being feed. They didn't waste too much time when food was dropped into their tank. Although, we caught many an insect, which they eagerly devoured they took a particular liking to shrimp. Of course that sealed their fate and quickened their release. After all, if anyone around here is going to be dining on shrimp it's going to be ME!!
