How old is this turtle, d'y'all think?
I treated myself to a photo opp with this little snapper in a corner of Chatfield S.P. in CO. It seemed fine, was hanging out between the trail and the river, so I put it back facing the same way lol. This time of year (early July), is it just hanging out, or headed somewhere to or from laying eggs? Is it even old enough to lay eggs yet? The only other snappers I've seen here are huge, like 15+ pounds, and a foot across, so just curious if this is a young'un.
