That is very cool!

Here's our little Tank-Snapping turtle(Chelydra serpentina). Last year came to us about the size of a silver dollar. This year she's about saucer size. She polished off 15 pinkies the other night. She's calm and docile. Begs for food when we walk out on the deck.

Here's a couple other photos of Tank. We almost lost her on Tuesday to heat stroke but she's fine now. She stopped breathing but I got her going again. Glad she didn't bite me
She's a great turtle to have around. I'm looking forward to her getting real big. She's very docile and I can still hand feed her but those days are coming to an end as I don't want to feed her my hand.

She's a sweetheart. Very nice. Both of them.

Thanks, Wayne.
Tank reminds me of the snapping turtle I had as a kid. It was 25 lbs and as nice as an old dog.
It used to stretch its neck out and let me scratch it. Used to hand feed it. That was one nice turtle.
I'm hoping this one turns out the same. So far, so good.

She just pooped. I've been waiting for this since her overheating problem the other day. Looks like all her systems are working fine.

What a beautiful turtle!
Glad to hear everything is working fine too.
