No joke. I don't want it to die....it's big, afraid to pick it up and take it to the lake, might be a snapper.

rolling on the floor laughing Pardon me for laffin'. We killed a snake once, thought it was a rattler and didn't want there to be a nest, so called the animal shelter. They came up (3 of them) picked it up with a stick, hemmed and hawed around knowing absolutely nothing.

Then the lady who mows the yards came along and said "Oh you killed the pet bullsnake that was hanging around here. It kills mice."

SO probably the police would just shoot it (and then take it home and make soup)

I'm not EVEN going to ask how to tell if it's a boy turtle or girl.
What do I do, ask it to tell me it's name?

I don't think that our animal shelter does good deeds like that.

I'll check in a couple of hours and if he/she/it's still there, I'll coax it into a box and take it over to the lake.
