Rescue, or herpin on my way to work?
 
I found this guy on my way to work, he was crossing the street in the down town area. I relocated him after work in this new home, I think it is a bit better than where he was. :)

Great work!

Probably kept him from getting crushed by a car. :thumbsup:

I wonder what you with him all day while you were at work?

Good for you, Bobby. :)

My Mom called me the other day, she was SO proud of herself, she had found one sitting on the road, and in her words, "he was a big mother" lol, said he had to have been at least 18" in diameter....she managed to get him off the road and down to a much safer location. She knew I'd be impressed with her, lol.

Yea, sometimes our wild friends need a helping hand, I doubt he would have made it with the direction he was heading. He was heading for a very busy four lane and I do not think that was where he needed to go.

I work at Days Inn, and I am a supervisor, so there were not any people that could say too much... :)

I put him into a big rubbermaid tub, and let him stay in our tool room. It was dark and cool in there, so he just had to hang out a few hours until I left for home. I went home and grabbed my camera to get some pictures and headed to his new home far from the hustle of the city. I think he will be happy in his new lake now, and maybe he will stop being a city snapper, lol.

Way to go Mr. Hill. I love the part about it not being a city turtle any longer.
My wife informed me tonight that our herping season is starting. She moved her first Crotalus viridis off the road on her way home tonight.
