Back to the story - since we have been so lucky to have this extreme drought, I took advantage of the drying pond (they call them tanks in Texas) to dig it out. The main idea was that when/if it finally does rain we would have a nice new tank that was deeper and would hold more water. When I was getting close to completing the big dig I noticed a blob of mud was moving. It turned out to be this Alligator Snapping Turtle. I cleaned him off and relocated him to our larger pond.
He was not too happy at first - he had this eerie low pitched hiss when you got close to him - you might be able to hear it in the video. Moved another large turtle today but it was not a snapper.
