Turtle Adventure!

So just the other day as we were driving through town Riley spotted a turtle about to go into the road! So we pulled over and mom rescued the turtle... a baby SNAPPING TURTLE!!! We brought him home, caught crickets, and named him, Spike! But much to everyones cringe, mom would not hear of keeping him. But we did keep him for a few days before relocating him to a nice pond!

Here are some pictures from his release party! Look at those claws!
So little!

Spikes new home!


Bye Spike!

No, I didn't until you mentioned it. I guess that's like most things though - cuter when they're babies.
