Weseley Mullen sent me this picture on October 31, and I haven't had a chance to post it. But David's entry about the deceased juvenile snapper allegedly found in a coffee can gave me the incentive to post it.
(Click on thumbnail for enlargement) The pic I've attached shows my father holding several hatchling snapping
turtles; they were discovered in my family's backyard late this summer only a
few weeks after we'd noticed an adult female digging around in the soil beneath
our porch.
