That small snapper must only be a few weeks old.
What state is this? Almost looks like MI

She did lay her eggs there, about 12 or 15; this was in June. I placed a short wire fence around the nest to protect from predators which worked well, or so I thought. About mid September I took the fence down as I thought the eggs did not mature, but either the baby turtles hatched or something dug up the small eggs as I found empty egg shells in October. I have pictures somewhere.
I'm hoping to create an area, something closer to the lake that's more protected but will get some sun or the appropriate conditions.
Yep, in Wisconsin. ...
