    Fun fact! This is a terrible way to hold a snapping turtle. Their necks are quite long and can reach behind their front legs. If you ever do have to hold a turtle, hold them as far back as possible and pray you can keep it balanced.

      Also watch out for piss

      Source: it wasn’t a snapping turtle but a turtle pissed on me repeatedly whilst relocating it, I was genuinely shocked by the sheer volume of piss that it managed to unleash in total

      Dang that was my immediate reaction too!

      Ever tried moving an alligator snapper? It’s quite the adrenaline pump…
