I bet, We just love "swamping" , and down there I can imagine you can find swamps almost anywhere, did you guys happen to find any Snappers? I know you guys found the box, which up here in CT is still a treat to find. I was just wondering if you came across anything that you didn't photograph.

the only other turtles we found we noticed about 100yds out in the last swamp. Other than that we saw nothing in the water except frogs. Like I said it was mid 40's and raining most of the trip, im surprised we found what we did. we did come across a black racer on our way back to the car to drive home. It startled me because all I heard was rattling until I saw it dart under these leaves. It was shaking its tail in the leaf litter. But it escaped down a deep hole under the leaves before I could take a picture.
