I can't believe how big they are, I'm not sure the pictures give him justice. His tail is so long and take a look at his claws! A living dinosaur.
Of course we had to see if they really snapped . . . they do. This guy was real quick! See how far his neck is cranked over!
He can reach so far. It was a good adrenaline rush. Our friends down the road said that these are the only turtles that can roll off of their backs.
So, we had to test that too. He can flip over pretty fast actually. It was crazy.
We know. This makes Dalan look like a jerk. I promise you he isn't. We just wanted to make sure our neighbor wasn't pullin' our legs. For the record though, we stopped pestering the big, ugly turtle shortly after and he was not harmed :)

Carter is so PROUD of Dalan, right now. Let's just hope this doesn't have the same effect as the sneeze. :)
Awesome turtle pictures!
You are awesome with your story telling with the pictures! I was really feeling nervous on my end about the turtle snapping! Yikes!
It also makes me giggle to know that this turtle and his abilities were entertainment for you and Dalan. :)
Keep enjoying the simple things!! I LOVE IT!
