Went fishing with my family today. We didn’t catch much but we saw this guy so I’m calling it a win.

A baby common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) being held in my left hand. The turtle is shrinking back into their shell with their tail curled around so we can see it.

Cooling off in the creek.
Common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) chills under the surface of clear water in a shallow creek. This medium-small (maybe a teenage but probably not mutant ninja) turtle stayed perfectly still, showing off an almost shiny black shell.

Summer’s end means the start of a second pulse of activity as turtles are preparing for their long winter brumation. Eric gives us a peek into the field in the Hudson Valley of New York.

A common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) peaking the tip of their snout and eyes above water in the left of frame while the rest of their body stays distorted underwater in the right of frame. The water is green with algae and we can see algae growing on the turtle’s shell and even some of their head

Brenlee Shipps has been scanning turtle skulls to understand the relationship between tomial anatomy and the hard anatomy of the skull. Here is a failed 3D print of a snapping turtle skull. It is a throw away, but a cool one. Bone texture is especially nice.

I had an AMAZING encounter this morning with a huge Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina)!!!

It was moving between a pond and a small river 😍😍😍

It had a carapace about 35 cm long!!!

They are rarely seen here in South Florida ESPECIALLY out of the water… a first for me

An itty bitty baby commons snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) being held between my thumb and index finger on my left hand (giving their shell lots of support underneath). They’re facing the right of frame so we have a sort of profile of the front right side of their body.

It’s World Turtle Day! Here’s the skull of a common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina). These prehistoric-looking freshwater turtles live in Canada and the U.S. Snapping turtles are omnivorous but they are also scavengers and active hunters

Timothy C. Roth, a member of Maryland's 'Task Force Turtle' (TFT) snapped this photo of a female common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) emerging from brumation in a dry lake mudhole with 18 lbs of dirt & grass on her back.

TFT tag these animals with radio transmitters to track movements.
A giant snapping turtle moves across a field, with a lump of dirt on her back that has green grass growing on it. It's comically oversized, flat on top. Behind the turtle is what looks like a bit of forest with dry lake in the foreground, and some shore grasses in between. CREDIT: Timothy C. Roth, Task Force Turtle

I met this big old Common Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina) on a track at the Carlisle Cranberry Bog a couple of days ago. Big but a bit of growing still to do. Really old ones are covered in vegetation with moss and weed growing on them. #Herping #Nature #Photography #Nikon #Massachusetts
