Wondering why I keep finding these empty turtle shells? They are water turtles(green painted ,etc?) and they all are near the waters edge on land. Is something eating them? Have become pretty common, and have seen the majority of it in two completely different geographical locations. One recent one had only the head missing and legs etc were still intact. Also there were several holes in the ground amongst some young tree roots in one local.
Almost certain this wouldn't be people doing this, as it is in a couple remote locations and water is too shallow, and foot access is mostly non existent. If it was a Raccoon, some of these turtles are larger than what I would think a Raccoon would bother with?
