The name "snapping turtle" conjures up images of powerful, prehistoric-looking beasts that lurk in the dark waters of local swimming holes. Beyond its status as childhood legend, Chelydra serpentina is one of the most interesting reptiles of the New World. One of our largest turtles, this animal weighs up to thirty-five pounds, lays as many as one hundred eggs and can deliver a nasty bite. Remarks. Chelydra serpentina is native to southeastern Canada and eastern United States (TTWG 2021). One individual was photographed at MR on 12 February 2009 (B. L. Chong pers. comm.) and March 2009 (Ng & Lim 2010), and a carcass of one was found at SBWR in 2014 (Kwan et al. 2015).
