How large is "LARGE"? Is it one of the common painted turtles or is it one of the "MONSTER" snapping turtles? The little ones are fun to watch as they get right in the middle of all the bluegill turmoil at feeding time and the grandkids sure do like to watch and feed them. I am concerned about the larger snappers with the little kids and have removed and "relocated" several dozen over the past several years. I think it is up to each individual pond owner and his goals wether the turtles stay or are removed.


Mistakes are proof that you are trying.
