While driving through the North Ga mountains of Fannin County today, me and my daughter came across this cute little rascal. If you come across one of these i would recommend not picking it up or trying to pet it. Around these parts we call these critterd snapping turles or mud turtles, i have heard folks around here say that they will bite you. I suppose that is where the name snapping turtle originated. This was on the road that runs along Noontootla creek, it is a beautiful drive, the towering Hemlocks and the rushing creek with mini-waterfalls and rapids are gorgeous. Just be careful to watch out for the snapping turtles.
