I found this little hatchling in my yard yesterday. Little sucker bit me (Hard!) in the palm of my hand! So I am wondering if it is a snapping turtle? Anybody?

wow very tine I am not sure, it sorta looks like a snapping turtle

Deuteronomy 32:11
He is like an eagle that stirs up its nest. It hovers over it little ones. It spreads out it wings to catch them on its feathers.

It looks like a baby snapper to me.....but the shell threw me for a loop.  roll.png  Sure is a cutie, though!!

A friend told me I was delusional. I almost fell off my unicorn.

 

I smile because I have no idea what's going on.  :D  

 

When life gives you lemons, turn around and squeeze 'em back in life's eyes.

 

My room is not messy, I simply have everything on display for everyone to see. Like a museum.

Here is a (blurry) pic of the bottom shell. So is it a snapper or not?
