An East Marlborough resident reports an exciting event along Route 82 last week: "Rarely is there a traffic jam in front on my house (ok, never) but because of a 60-lb-plus snapping turtle there was a big old gaper delay until my saint of a husband with assistance heaved the ugly beast up on the bank.
"Once it was on the bank (and traffic could move) it would have been hard to tell the size from a photo. However, I swear its shell was almost as big as the lid on my trash can and its head larger than a softball!!! Took 2 men to lift it."
She suspects that the old quarry behind her house is a haven for the massive and long-lived creatures.
