We met this big guy the last time we were in Florida. A Common Snapping Turtle, seen crossing a sand road at the edge of remaining Everglades. There was what looked like a squatted truck gathering in the area, so we’re happy we found it first and helped it off the road.

But, we just kicked the can down the road a bit. The place this old turtle lives is slated to become the next massive residential area as the state continues to fill in. If you’ve never seen the everglades … get down there and do it while you can.
