Fished one of these Red eared sliders out of the pool and returned him to the wilds. (We are surrounded by nature preserve and enjoy many forms of wildlife) Also moved a large snapping turtle out of the road next to the house.
Pic #1 Slider (Name comes from red on neck) Pic #2 is snapping turtle, larger and with a long tail. They have a powerful bite and will use it as a defense,fast and will whip around and bite and scratch-be careful.
