Summary
A Garden City homeowner stumbled upon a snapping turtle—no joke, an invasive species in Idaho—right outside his front door, far from any water. Armed with quick research, he wisely called Idaho Fish and Game instead of trying to handle it himself. Officials gave him two options: humanely dispatch or hand it over. He chose the latter, safely capturing it with thick gloves to avoid the turtle’s sharp claws and spiky tail. This isn’t a one-off: sightings are rising, prompting officials to urge residents to keep their distance and report finds via the Idaho Invasive Species Hotline. Meanwhile, the Idaho Reptile Zoo is overwhelmed. As development grows, wildlife encounters are on the rise—so if you spot one, don’t approach unless it’s a safety issue, and always report it.
