I'm sure they enjoy that!!! When I lived in Mohnton, we would go to an out of the way place to buy our flowers. Every year we would find a large turtle upside down in the middle of the road, stop the car, get out and upright it over at the side where it was headed. But, there were some that didn't make it without getting hit. They are so cute, I couldn't eat one. But, then again, cows are cute, and pigs are cute and I can eat that meat, only if it's from the store :o) and I don't know it's parents :o) Lynn Barb wrote: I have a shell of a small one that I use for my daycare.

Those were probably box turtles. I have ridden in the car lots of times with one we rescued from the road to bring home to the garden in hopes that it will eat slugs and such. Most snapping turtles are really big - those we have gotten out of our ponds were sometimes almost 18 inches long. You wouldn't have wanted to flip one of those over because you would have risked losing a finger or toe. They are definitely nasty creatures. They bite right through the heaviest fish hook we can find to try and catch them. We have had lots of pets over the years including farm animals. The only ones we ate were chickens, though most of them were for eggs. I've got pictures of some of our pets on our website. The link is under my signature. Just scroll down to where you can click on photo gallery and then go to the kitty pictures. There are lots more than cats there. Hope you enjoy them.
