Good point never thought about it.Trtles are cold blooded so snakes can't see them.But I'm sure it wasn't good for her to be out there.With cars and lawnmowers and fourwheelers everywhere.

Water snakes of the genus Nerodia DO eat turtles. I've seen large Northern water snakes with turtles in their gut.
