Hatchling Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina) that I moved off of a busy road onto the Lynn Valley Trail the other night. It's generally advised not to relocate turtles but it is advised to move them safely away from vehicle traffic. Mid August to September is when Snapping Turtles generally hatch and begin their journeys to the nearest source of water, so keep your eyes out for them. Upon hatching they are only a few cm long. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #snappingturtle #chelydraserpentina #turtlesofinstagram #turtlesofig #ontarioherps #herpstagram #reptilesofinstagram #reptilesofontario #ontarionature #lynnvalleytrail #norfolkwild #blognorfolk #simcoeontario (at Lynn Valley Walking Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiFooAEgEEm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today I was lucky enough to come across two common snapping turtles engaging in the complicated courting/mating process. After a bit of maneuvering they locked up and sealed the deal 🤠🐢 #commonsnappingturtle #ChelydraSerpentina https://www.instagram.com/p/BmorUhWg9rg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jdz0475o17gx

Somebody special showed up in the volunteer catnip patch today :) Snapping turtles come onto land to lay eggs and have a very low success rate due to high mortality of embryos and hatchlings, unfortunately. While they tend to reach sexual maturity at 15-20 years, they can reach up to 100 years old and have frequent “reproductive events”, as a strategy to survive and thrive despite their challenges. FYI they can be aggressive on land with serpent-like heads/necks but tend to retreat and hide when in the water. #soglad #snappingturtle #chelydraserpentina
