Just caught this little girl trying to cross the road down the street from my home at 11:30, her carapace was just under 3 feet and weighed close to 50lbs. Deffenitly one of the biggest common snappers I've seen I guesstimated she was around 20 years old.

Thats some mighty fine eating right there
|
Oh yeah! Gotta watch out though, this meal might try to bite back!!
|
I think that is one of the biggest I've ever seen.
Did you release her? |
I put some hydrogen peroxide on her head wound and released her into the river she was found near.
|
I had NO idea they got that big!

Snappers are the only turtles I really like. (includes alligator snappers, but I prefer the regular ones) |
The largest recorded in CT had a carapace length of 17.51 inches, I had a a tape measure in my truck and I measured hers at just about 22 inches. I may have overestimated a bit in my original post lol.

Also she was a good 300 yards from the water when we found her.
