I've been reading more about how baby water turtles get back to the water, and it's apparently not as straightforward as you might think (or as I thought), sometimes with more wandering and hanging out on land than heading straight for the water's edge. <br /><br />Also note that lots of female turtles dig multiple test holes before they lay, so she might end up laying on the pond side of the street some of the time too.Bernard Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13873568923999649831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801645.post-61635969776701471232010-01-25T07:59:51.862-08:002010-01-25T07:59:51.862-08:00Thank you for the information on snappers.

The female always lays her eggs across the street near the woods edge (freaking people out when they see her in their yard. I find baby snappers have crossed the street and are heading toward the pond as I see them. Is this just luck on their part?...Michelleramblingwoodshttp://ramblingwoods.com/noreply@blogger.com
