Tank (Chelydra serpentna - Common Snapping Turtle) Born in South Dakota in the Fall of 2008, Tank was transported to Iowa to save his life. Tank was found crossing a busy parking lot shortly after hatching. Approximately 6 months later Tank came to live with his current family. Tank went from 5 oz to his current weight of 40+ lbs. in 8 years. He is a member of our family and interacts with us daily. Life with Tank in it has been a blessing to us too.
