    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I was wondering if anyone knew the Georgia Home range of snapping turtles. Someone brought a hatchling in to my work and my partner said it was an alligator snapping turtle. It had small ridges on its back and was mostly dark with a couple of solid yellow stripes on its face. it was under 3 inches. If this sounds like an alligator snapper, then please let me know. thanks

No,those are common snappers.Alligators are best distinguished from common/Floridas by the distincy lack of a long neck.Plus the worm on the tongue(they are born with it),the level,tricarnate keel.Plus alligators have thier eyes in the sides of thier headsmwhere as commons,Floridas have eys on the tops of thier heads.
