She stated in her first post, she moved it to the other side of the fence near the creek.. If she was planning on keeping, I would pipe up as its an adult & thats not right, unless its sick.. & having no legs isn't an excuse to remove it from the wile either.. legless snappers do great in the wild.

Sorry, I must have skipped that post.

Ok, I wasn't sure when they hatched. Maybe it was looking for a nesting spot then. I remember finding snapper babies at the park and giving them a helping hand to the water but I didn't remember when in the year it was.

NEVER EVER help a turtle to the water, leave them alone. You can stand guard, but do not touch! They need the walk to the water on their own.. If one falls ina hole, ya ok, help him out, but don't walk him to the water.. theres always a reason why turtle nest a distance from the water.. I'm sure the babies long walk is healthy for them.
