At 25 feet, nope lol.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

At 25', with a clear view of the tail, I could sex a larger, adult snapping turtle. Males have longer and thicker tails. Their cloaca is closer to the tip of the tail, than a female. The females have a shorter, thinner tail and the cloaca is close to the shell.

Sure. Made considerable difference in $ at one time.


Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Wasn't there an outfit over your way some years back buying up snappers and / or diamondback terrapins and either producing eggs here for China or shipping adults to China to be propagated?

Can't remember the details, but sorta vaguely recall something along those lines going on
