Index of Subjects Snapping turtles are dangerous to pick up. I remember Fulton Lavender once held a board out to a snapping turtle which immediately grabbed it. He could then drag it off the road to where it was safe.

He was trying to cross the road. We stopped but could not see what to do to make him safe since there wasn't any good place for him where he was headed. Another car stopped and that driver said he had seen possibly the same turtle crossing at the same spot a few days earlier and had returned him to a nearby pond. There is a lot of highway construction in the area, so maybe turtle life is disrupted, with refugees coming into the pond. Any ideas what would have been best to do for the snapper we found?
