Below is an important message from Redding Animal Control Officer regarding Snapping Turtles.
The nesting season for Snapping Turtles is coming upon us and you are likely to see them crossing many of the roads in town. Snapping turtles rarely leave their aquatic habitat except during the breeding season, at which time females travel great distances in search of a place to dig a nest and lay eggs.
Selected nest sites include banks, lawns, gardens and road embankments.
