You'll only grab this guy one time by the shell.

Snapper for sure!

That's a Snapper and it can take your fingers off quickly. Never pick it up by the shell, they can bring their head 2/3 to the rear of their shell and take a good bite of your hand or arm. The best bet is to drag them by the tail, never get close to the mouth.

Funny you say that, I had an offer before I let him go. I figure he was pretty old.

I grabbed a snapper out of the creek once and was that thing nasty. He would snap at tree branches and even bit his own foot once. I knew enough to carry it by his tail, not his shell.

You did a good deed, Newt

The snapping was so loud you could tell just by the noise how bad a bite would hurt.

I caught many of them in my lifetime, I like the alligator snapping turtles better, they look a lot meaner and have huge spikes on thier tail, you can grab them either by the shell, with one hand behind his neck and the other by his tail, or if they are smaller you can grab them by the tail. we used to poke into the fresh mud with stick untill they swim out. we would check em out, take a few pics and let em go. once we pained pink dots on one for being too aggresive and then let it go, lol. just so the other turtles would laugh at him and call him names.

When I was kid living in Florida I stepped on the back of a aligator snapping turtle. I was walking in a ditch like boys are known to do and thought it was a rock. You can imagine how surprised I was when the thing moved and tried to chew my foot off. Needless to say I was a little more careful in the Florida ditches after that.

When i was a kid i caught a snappin turtle with my fishing pole. I am not kidding it was as big around as a 55 gallon drum. It was huge. Needless to say that one didn't make it to the bank. The line got cut. And I ran.
