I measured TINA'S shell (carapace) and it was 14.5 inches long, which puts her at a weight of about 45 pounds and an approximate age of over 30 years old!!...

World Turtle Day 2025. Late Afternoon. My big primordial sweetheart, Tina The Snapping Turtle, would like to help me celebrate this wonderful day. Very prehistoric. A real beauty.π’πΈπ¨π¦
