Mike Ray, of Lutz, came upon this snapping turtle, approximately 30 inches long, crossing Henley Road. Snapping turtles live only in fresh or brackish water. They prefer water with muddy bottoms and lots of vegetation, so that they can hide more easily. Snapping turtles spend almost all their time in water, but do go on land to lay eggs in sandy soil.
