Its baby snapper season around here. I found a hatchling the other night and brought him down to the water. He was so dried out he wouldn't have made it the rest of the way on his own,he had given up and was just laying their. He recovered quickly once in the water though. Cute lttle thing the size of a quarter. I hope you have a place for him when he's older. They live a long time and in a year or two he'll be tryin to take of fingers. I've learned not to bring hatchlings home anymore when I was young. They don't become tame animals.
