35 years on the Parker Dam stretch of the Colorado River. Never once seen what we saw tonight! It was impressive... An easy 22" Long x 14" Wide Softie! It was a brown to brick red top color with cream granite skin and underside.. What a sight to behold! Was no way to photograph it either, bet I never see one again! ;(

I was curious if anybody could put an age on something like that... It was impressive! All I could say... And it was not like the ones I'd seen in the Pet Shops! I'm so sorry to share with no pics ;(
