Fascinating creatures. Had one of these in my creek for a few years. Haven't seen it lately... might have moved on. Shell was an easy 12 inches in length.

Artist Reply: OH YES GEOFF, YOU DON'T WANT TO GET YOUR HAND OR FINGERS NEAR HIS MOUTH. YOU WON'T GET THEM BACK. THESE GUYS DON'T WANT TO LET GO. OTHERWISE THEY AREN'T DANGEROUS.
