We are on our third generation of snappers. It all started years ago with a female that was crossing the Interstate. I happened to have a cardboard box in my car, so I pulled over and fought with her for some time trying to get her into the box. It must have been quite a sight for passers-by. Some time later we found a male about half her size that had come out of the nearby woods and was in our yeard. The rest is history. We call the female "Big Girl."

We still have both her & the male. They produced a clutch of babies that are now grown and have had their own babes. It has been a treat to watch them grown from dime-size to critters that will take your finger off!

I used to keep them "back in the day." Often they become quite tame. Here's a juvenile that I found a couple years ago (photographed and released):
