A few days ago in one of my updates, I mentioned not seeing any baby turtles this year. Then on Tuesday, as we were turning onto the main highway near our house, I saw a little baby snapping turtle on the side of the road. I had my husband go around the block and park. I ran over and picked him up. In the short time it took us to go back, he was trying to cross a main highway. Between the traffic and the very hot weather we were having that day, I don't think his chances were very good. We went back home, and I watered him down. I headed him down the hill to the marsh. I hope he makes it, but I have no way of knowing. His chances are better now and at least I tried.
