Almost crushed the little guy

[Zag]

Almost stepped on this little guy in the yard tonight. Glad my son wasn't around cause I'm sure there would have been talk about keeping him,

Good God! I've never seen such a small turtle! LOL

[Marion]

Careful he might bite your finger off

Wow, that IS small!  Must be a _______of turtles close by??  (fill in the blank with whatever a flock of turtles would be called)

Is it (wait for this).........a little snapper??

[Pygmy]

Why it's a little snapper...

I was always fond of small snappers.

[Lawdwaz]

HA, beat you too it!!!!!!

[ny hunter]

Wow that is tiny

Yeah smallest turtle I've seen in the wild. I thought it was one of my kids toys at first.

[The_Real_TCIII]

I kept one like that all summer when I was a kid

Find all his brothers and sisters and pick up all their quarters they left around. You''ll have enough for lunch and a beer

[NYBowhunter]

Nice little snapper, hope you got him to water.

Cute when they are that small....We don't see turtles here...so we were very surprised when 2 years ago a tiny little painted turtle emerged from out flower bed...all the streams on the property are over a 1/4 mile away and the swamp about 3/4s'...I took it to the head of one stream...
Never seen another and have no idea how it got here...Nice find!

Could have been a bird who grabbed it and dropped it the flower bed by accident and then couldn't find it.

Too bad you didn't I hate snapping turtles 

[grampy]

No matter the size, all snappers should receive special recognition!

I was pike fishing on Sodus Bay many years ago and eased into an area near Hunter Point. There must have been a turtle 'hatch' going on and the pike were taking them off the surface in a frenzy. I managed to net a few of the little guys and transport them to another part of the bay where they were more likely to survive. One of the weirdest things I've ever seen.

Found this guy on dry land a few years ago. Tossed him back into the pond.

I went back and used some surface-wobbler lures to catch a few of those pike, but I draw the line at baby turtles and ducklings. ;-]
