Dealing with Distressed Reptiles and Amphibians
Turtles and snakes are often the victims of road collisions and lawn mower
damage. If one is found contact one of the reptile and amphibian rehabilitators
listed below.
Notes on Snapping Turtles:
- Snapping turtles come on land in June to lay their eggs
- They often choose spots in people's yards or near roadways
- It is best to leave them alone unless they are on a roadway
or in other immediate danger
- They should finish laying their eggs and leave within 24-48 hours
- Eggs hatch sometime in late summer/early fall
