r/turtles

I enjoy walking my neighbor's dog. I don't have a lot of social media I don't have tiktok so I often enjoy my walks head up. I got real lucky this day. Or maybe my ankles or my neighbor's dog's legs got lucky I was head up this day LOL.

Southeastern Pennsylvania, today (Oct 3), right near a river. Almost ran this guy over on a bike path, so I moved him to a safer spot, and snapped some pictures before I did. I can’t figure out if he’s some sort of slider, and if so which kind, or something else! Thanks in advance for any help!

He just came to our house and was being barked at by dogs. I believe he is a snapping turtle but I don’t know what species and I can’t really tell. Please let me know what to do about him.

Loc: Mindanao, Philippines

Pardon the dog slobber!
