    Also to add, pick them up by grabbing both the top and bottom parts of the carapace, just like Beau did. The turtle's backbone is fused to the top shell and if you only lift it up by the top shell it can fatally injure a turtle, especially a heavier species like a snapper.

I blocked traffic with my car while I tried to figure out what to put it in to transport it. He was a big one. So finally I just picked him up and put him in the passenger seat of my 300zx and took him down to a park with some swampy lakes. Fun adventure.

    When I was seven years old I lived in South Dakota. In the summer I stayed with my Aunt and Uncle near Burke South Dakota. We would go fishing in Burke lake which was full of snapping turtles. I used a bamboo pole then. My cousins knew when I had a snapper on because I would drop my pole and takeoff running. I was scared to death of them. Thanks to my cousins. They told me if one bites me on the only way to get it off was to wait for a thunder storm and the thunder would scare them away. Karma if you want to call it that way but when I went to put another fish on it there were only fish heads on it except for my northern pike. It had not been touched. Everyone came running as I was laughing my head off. I still don't like those snappers. I enjoyed this video as it brought back memories of a good time.

      My mom told us about the thunder thing. I had never heard anyone else say it until now. They used to bring me Terrapins or Box Turtles to play with when we were real young. I had seen Snappers so I knew what they could do so I was reluctant to touch the terrapin but momma said "it's ok they don't bite". Well she was wrong. Not sure exactly what happened but I was sticking my finger in it's face and it bit me.That wasn't the first time momma got me. She had me help her work on a push mower once that wouldn't start, so she had me hold the plug wire while she cranked on it to see if it was getting fire. It was getting fire.

    I saved an alligator snapper once. She must have climbed out of the lake and somehow wondered onto highway 161. A car hit her and I made my friend stop. She was HUGE, they cracked off the front of her shell but she was okay. I took her home and bought her a big pool and our yard was fenced in with a wooden fence so she could go to the pool and get out and walk around the back yard. I called her Queen Bitch cause she was always snapping at me. lol But I loved her. Thank you for being so kind to turtles. :)

    You should put a common snapping turtle in a box, and give it to your worst enemy for christmas. Make sure that it says, "shake before opening". I'm kidding, of course; I would never do that to the poor turtle, but it's funny to joke about it.

    I was enjoying myself fishing once, and this father and his 6 year old son came right up next to me and started fishing too. I would have been irritated by this but the dad was just teaching his son how to fish. I talked with them a little bit and the son hooked a snapping turtle. I helped them land it because it was a heavy sucker. When the dad took the hook out of the turtles mouth, the hook was bent into a straight line. That kid lost his favorite lure that day, but he can say the first thing he ever caught was a turtle. Fun day

    It's usually the one messing with the snappers that end up being called "Stubby". First one I saw was when I was about 6. My grandfather stopped the car as we watched it cross the road. Very, very, very, very, slowly. And it was HUGE!

    I found a snapping turtle roaming about very close to the busy road we live on, so I figured rather than seeing him dead in the road later, I'd pick him up and move him back to the pond behind our house. I'm sure that is where he came from anyway. I figured I could handle it, he wasn't quite as big as the one in this video. I'd seen the turtle man show and remembered the way he handled them, so I picked him up by the tail at arms length and walked him all the way back to the pond and let him go. I'm sure I saved his life, but I feel bad now picking him up wrong. :( Thanks for educating the folks on the right way to pick up a snapping turtle.
