My neighbors have little kids, and they’re smart and listen to me, but their one friend kept putting his face super close to the turtle. Luckily this one wasn’t very defensive, bc he was close enough to take a bite to the nose- I had to tell him that it would bite his nose off to get him to back off lmfao. <br/> I’m always super happy to see snappers so this made my day!</p><hr><p>What a beautiful lady!
