great shot .. however i am not truly convinced it's a snapper? i'm thinking it may be a box turtle?

I had a turtle once but he ran away. He was a red-eared turtle and I used to feed him gold fish. He was FIESTY! I think its in a turtles nature!

The shot is a bit blurry and grainy. With all tht sun and high Aperature I maybe would have used a little higher ISO and a little faster shutter speed. But I'm sure you didn't have much time to set up this shot.

Black bears are mean now? News to me...here in Pennsylvania.

Anyway, I agree that's not a snapper. Here's a shot I took a few weeks back of one http://i6.photobucket.​com …/April142006026​resize.jpg

I'm with Okiebass here....that's an eastern box turtle. Good shot though

OOps Thanx to the sharp eyed turtle watchers in above comments. I did check this morning againt a live specimen of a box turtle at the nature center. That's exactly what it is.
