Sad Day In My Pond Big Boy Is Dead

[Poppy]

Well my suspicions are true. Big boy is dead. The big snapper that’s inhabited this area is now no more. Baby girl and myself were messing around the other day and I took pics of something weird my neighbors dock. I talked to him yesterday and it was indeed big boy. Neighbor said it appeared there dead and stinky. He pushed it out in the pond.

The other day dead


Alive a couple of years ago

Oh man, I bet every other creature in the pond breathed a sigh of relief

 

[Poppy]

Right! We have 3 ponds in the hood. They were all his. I’m sad about this.

That is too bad, hopefully he has some offspring alive in there! I love seeing big snappers around here

 

[JLee]

Sorry to hear about big boy!

 

[Outlawthing]

You should have weighed him he may have been a record breaker and he could go down in history

 

[Poppy]

Neighbor pushed him into pond and he sunk before I could get close enough.

That sucks but with his genes he has babies everywhere that should get as big as him as long as they have food to eat.

I’ve only seen one in captivity bigger than him
