2019 venture vermont: identify a painted turtle and a snapping turtle

booyah!

sometimes i go more than a year without a bona fide photographable turltle sighting, let alone one each of painted turtle and snapping turtle in one season. but i saw them this year.

actually i saw two snappers and a painted turtle, but one of each is good enough.

and here they are:

common snapping turtle
chelydra serpentina


painted turtle
chrysemys picta
