CLOSE TO THE CREATURES WITH PAPA - Snapping Turtle
Turtles are my favorite, and Snapping Turtles are near the top.
Today we head back into the types of creatures that can be a little more dangerous. I know that not everyone would want to get close to one of these, but I love it! I’ve been interacting with these peculiar beasts since I was a child, and they still hold a special place in my heart.
Some of these photos are really nice, in my opinion, and Snapping Turtles make excellent models! See which ones are your favorites!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
And yes, I have caught larger ones, as I share in this story.

FULL STEEM AHEAD!
I remember those days.
Very fond memories at that.
Mississippi had a lot of them. They ate your fish off the stringer and would take your toes too if they cast you sun bathing with your feet in the water!
Hahaha, We used to see them all the time at the lakes we swam in as kids. I kinda miss that kind of lifestyle. Oh to be a kid again.

nice one..i think i'll try to have a turtle too as pet lol
They can make good pets, it's just that most people don't choose Snapping Turtles for pets.
About models, you're right, in this aspect turtles are much easier. They running not so fast as lizards or butterflies, when you approach them to take shots.
Some turtles, like Softshells, can take off amazingly quick, but Snappers are more apt to just dig in and defend themselves.
That gaping mouth is pretty intimidating, and makes for some great shots. Thanks!
You both have unique personality :)
Thanks for that!
