Someone wandered away from her watery home & found herself on my driveway this morning!
Do you have snappers in your part of the world? They are amazing creatures! Their bite can snap your finger off! Snappers can reach over 50 pounds! It's nesting season - this is what her plan is:
We found those in a mulch delivery! Snappers will lay up to 50 eggs or so and then wander back to their watery home. She will not wait for those babies to hatch, nor will she look to take care of them once they do. Not known for their maternal abilities. Cool fact: snappers have been around since before the dinosaurs!

Animal Classification with my kids:
I can't wait to show them the cool reptile pics I was able to snap right in my own backyard. I love nature!
