Let's go swimming

My husband was moving a pile of wood chips by the pond in our back yard when he uncovered a clutch of 20 ping pong ball sized eggs. They were a light green and very leathery. Snapping turtle eggs. How big does a turtle have to be to lay 20 ping pong balls at one time? Here are some of them.


Are you kidding me?

    Hi turtle lady - our turtles travel between two ponds on our property and our neighbor's property but we've never seen anything that big!!! You'll need a bear trap for that baby. Take care!
