I released him behind the fence. It's all wetland forest back there...
Aw. Are they native to your area?

Yes, I believe so. We have one huge alligator snapping turtle at our "local" aquarium.
Funny/interesting story, one time this friend wanted me to walk to school with her so I did. She looooves all animals... ALL...
So we're walking and we go by this ditch. There was a massive alligator snapping turtle and she just starts walking down towards it so I rush up to her, grab her shoulder and say: "OK, I know you love animals, but unless you want only one hand I think you should leave that one alone"
She immediately just went: "Oh... Ok" and just kept walking lol
We have lots of big snapping turtles around here. 40lb plus

The turtle in the photos is a box turtle, not a snapping turtle.
Also, if the story about the alligator snapping turtle took place in North Carolina, then you probably saw a common snapper, as gator snappers don’t occur there.
Sorry to be such a downer.

No not a box turtle I'm sorry. I've seen MANY MANY box turtles. This had bumps and a large tail, not a box turtle.
Also we do have SNAPPING turtles but not alligator snapping turtles so if I said it was an alligator snapping turtle sorry... I was thinking about them while typing it so I may have just added it infront of "snapping turtle"
You’re right it does look much more like a box turtle. Cute regardless
