How you know it’s a he?My most unusual sighting this year was the mean old b*****d in the photo below. I was out for a morning walk and he was crossing the road. At least 1/2 mile from any water. Shell was about 18” and he was not a morning person!

Actually, it was a "she". They make a pilgrimage like that to lay their eggs each year. When I find them in the road like that, I toss them into the ditch on the side they were headed toward and wish them a safe journey. I won't take one like that to eat, because I want them to keep making babies.My most unusual sighting this year was the mean old b*****d in the photo below.

The females sure like the road edge to lay eggs. I see them a lot in May.
