That's a baby! I've seen one in E. TX that had a shell almost 3X as long.

I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on the impact of non-native species, are you?
No, I don't care enough to argue about it.

Wait, that's a GIANT turtle?
Damn right, he needed two hands to pick that thing up.

Tell them what the meat is worth and they'll have em hunted out of there in no time.

Non native invasive species are a bitch.
I don't think anybody on this board will argue that wild hogs are not a nuisance.

Those of us in Florida would like to add Burmese Pythons and African Rock Pythons.

surely there's a coonass in Oregon who could show them how to make a turtle soup. I hate to think that thing went to waste.
