this was a while ago,i was in florida and at a pond and my brother found a peice of turtle shell that still had flesh on it,i thougt it was a dog but as we got closer there were more dead turtles,turns out someone killed them for fun.in the same pond there was tons of hatchlings my brither and me took two home they mine really light almost white,his was a normal colored one.could this have beemn the work of a dog, the snappers shell was two thick for a dog in my apinion and no teeth marks also no meat was eaten it was just lying around.

any pics of the light snapper?

i'll see if i could take some,there at my house now and im on vacation.my mom takes care of them we were gonna set them free in our pond,many fish and foods for them.

Happens all the time. Probably someone fishing that caught them all and decided to kill them becuase turtles eat "their" fish.
