I hate snapping turtles. One day we were driving down the road and there was a snapping turtle in the way, so my dad stops, we both get out, and I try pushing on it for the back with my foot. next thing I know the B*****d jumps up about 4 inches and does a 180!! Scared the heck out of me. Never expected a turtle to jump like that!! Oh and it also snapped at us. My dad then decided to drive around it instead.:D

haha, you can catch them by hand... but avoid the neck.... It will surprise you how long that neck is..... Also, although not quick movers they kind of "lunge" they have a little quick first step, kinda like Allen Iverson....

The only problem with grabing them by the neck is theirclaws,it helps to where some thivk gloves. And onyl go for the neck if the tail is covered up, it helps to try and get him tobite a stickso that he extends his neck and then you can grab it.

RE: turtle
 
good advice, don't try and pull the neck from the shell, let the turtle extend it's head first hah
