How do you tell the difference between a regular turtle, and a snapping turtle???
Well, I think in this case, the bite radius would not really matter...
I’m Googl-ing it now...;-)

I guess the headlines would have been a little different if his “carry on” had been snapping turtles.

Most fresh water turtles are nasty when cornered and will snap at you, not just snappers. They hurt when they bite as they have beaks with sharp ridges top and bottom in the place of teeth. However, as most cannot swallow unless submerged, they will literally die of hunger if left dry.

Can we officially call illegals coming in from Mexico, Turtles, now?, to get
our Government to stop them? It seems a dumb crawler is all they care about
so it would be fitting.

Damn, the article doesn’t say what kind of turtle...
Box?
Snapper?
Slider?
Mud?
I might be looking for a little retirement income.

Snapper Turtles have pointed shells, and a more pointed “beak”.

Yikes...I’ve heard turtle soup is a delicacy but 13 to 15 hundred a turtle?
The insane ones are those that pay those prices. :-)

The last time someone told me they had a snapper in their pants, she wasn’t talking about no turtle.
