Here's a funny little Tank(31+ pound snapping turtle) story.
Yesterday, the front doorbell rang. It was the grandson of a friend of mine. His grandad was visiting a neighbor so Mathew(3rd grade) came over to see Tank. I walked him in to see Tank, he yelled "Hello Tank" reaching in to touch his shell. Tank bristled and push his hand off. He also gave this kid a hard stare. I immediately reached in and patted Tank on the shell telling him everything was OK. Tank never bristled at my touch and continued to give Mathew a look.
Tank certainly has his comfort zone and is leery of not-so familiar faces. He has seen Mathew before but apparently hasn't given him permission to touch him. I'm glad Tank isn't trusting of all people and especially thankful he doesn't use his mouth to get his point across.
His behavior reminds me of mammals that hold you tight when unknown people come close. Tank has many times placed his front paw in my hand and pulled in close, resting his head on my arm. All the time watching the new person that is in the room. I'm glad he feels secure with me near but must say it is strange behavior for a reptile, especially a large snapping turtle.

Cool story about Tank

Dirk, those snakes are fabulous. What is the black and yellow one? I have a few guesses but something is throwing me off.
