It is possible that he, like Panzer, the baby snapping turtle we raised one year for a while, was "wrong-way turtle" and all the rest of the siblings made it to water safely. Panzer was found in Paul's mom's yard, headed in the only direction that would NOT take him to water.

He lived in a tank with our fish, but tragically died from overeating (we think) when one on the Mollies had babies. The reason we came to that conclusion? That time, we thought she had about six babies ... the next time, though, with no turtle around, she had about 40 ...
