A New Friend At The Barn

Saw this beautiful little lady getting ready to lay some eggs. Learned that they dig a hole to lay their eggs 4-7 inches deep. Then they lay 20-40 eggs, cover them back in the dirt and then leave the nest. We should have babies in 80-90 days.
I was worried when I saw her that she was so close to the horses. Snapping turtles can be aggressive and I wouldn't want anything to happen to my horses. But she kept a safe distance away and the horses were unphased by her presence.
