This snapping turtle was about three feet away from our tent when we all saw each other. She froze, deliberated for fifteen minute, then set off in search of a different spot (far from humans!) in which to lay her eggs.
The reptile guy with us said this a very dark form. I agree, from my previous turtle experiences. They do come in a variety of shell color "forms": red, orange, brown, etc.

Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park is a small park that also touches about four miles of the Gulf of Mexico. It is located in Port Richey, FL in western Pasco County. There are so many opportunities to see animals in the natural habitat including gray fox, alligators, gopher tortoises, and endless species of birds.
Also, make yourself at home with the beautiful greenery that surrounds the whole park. If you are lucky, you may see a colorful butterfly, or the many animals that make the park their home.
What a suprise to find in middle of the highway. After some emergency manuvers this turtle was ensconced in a cooler and taken 1/8 mile to the conservation area. The turtle then got to pose for me.
